our inaugural family adventure

We’re going rafting!

Dust and Tribe, in collaboration with OARS, brings you two days and 21 miles of whitewater fun along the South Fork of the American River! Steeped in Gold Rush history, the American River is lined with oak and pine forests that tumble through the Sierra Nevada foothills, creating rolling valleys and gorges which mirror the flows and rolling rapids of this classic California river.

This will be our first ever family adventure, open to ages 8 and up.

On Sunday, July 14th, we’ll gather for a night under the stars at the OARS American River Outpost, about an hour outside of Sacramento, where we’ll enjoy:

• • Beach access for swimming in the river
  • Both individual and group campsites
  • Full men’s and women’s bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets
  • Riverside camping (on a limited basis)
  • Games, including horseshoes, volleyball, and a life-size chess board
  • Easy walking distance to local cafes
  • Nature trails
  • Free WiFi

On the morning of Monday, July 15th we’ll put into the river for five hours of whitewater fun, breaking for lunch and setting up camp for a second night along the river’s edge.

On the morning of Tuesday, July 16th we’ll take a shuttle to our next put-in for another three hours of roiling, wet madness before ending the day back at the OARS Outpost.

We’ve negotiated a fantastic rate and dates that will allow for a private launch just for our group with scheduled prayer breaks. We’ll be responsible for bringing our own halal food and camping gear (rental options are available).
