In addition to the obvious natural way to have tons of fun with your kids, the thrill of approaching a rapid and the teamwork to navigate through provide create one-of-a-kind memories. River rafting with kids has its benefits and with teens the benefits are increased. The friction which sometimes occurs between generations is erased by the sound of whitewater. For starters the river controls the speed, direction and duration of the adventure while the guide manages the experience so neither mom nor dad have any more to power than their children. Everyone is equal on the river and everyone is needed. The atmosphere is ideal for high energy fun. Add to that the obvious there is no room for no Ipods, IMs, text messages or Game Boys. Whitewater provides free-range organic fun.
