Welcome to another year of extraordinary California River Rafting with Whitewater Connection! We've grown from a tiny three-boat one-river company to one of California's largest and most reputable whitewater river rafting outfitters. Our California whitewater rafting success is due to our commitment to provide you with the best possible outdoor experience. Our philosophy is simple: a total dedication to quality and special attention to the important details that will make your whitewater rafting trip exceptional. We were the first major river company to convert entirely to self-bailing rafts. All rafting and safety equipment is no more than two years old at the beginning of each season. Our whitewater rafting boats and life jackets are custom designed specifically for the California whitewater rivers we run. South Fork American Middle Fork American North Fork American

We pull out all the stops when it comes to our meals. For example, dinner begins with our first course of shrimp cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, followed by our main course of steak, lobster and chicken, complete with wines from the fine local foothill wineries.

The centerpiece of our operation is a 40-acre private whitewater rafting base camp on the banks of the South Fork of the American river. The camp features hot showers and flush toilets, and an extensive irrigation system that keeps the camp green and lush throughout the hot summer months. We even have motion sensors in the restrooms and showers that automatically turn the lights on as you approach for those sometimes unavoidable middle-of-the-night visits.

Since Whitewater Connection recognizes that our expert whitewater river rafting guides and dedicated support staff are our most valuable assets, we hire the finest whitewater rafting personnel available both locally and from around the world. This widens our breadth of river rafting skills and makes for a very colorful company atmosphere! And just as a large number of our river rafting guests return year after year, a majority of our staff return as well. That's because we provide a family environment that promotes the happiness and satisfaction of our whitewater river rafting staff who then share their enthusiasm with our whitewater rafting guests. Our close personal relationships, company outings and staff retreats instill in our employees the camaraderie that you'll experience on all our California river rafting trips. This is a quality we work hard to develop and which sets Whitewater Connection apart from many other companies.

As Whitewater Connection enters another season, we will continue to maintain complete attention to detail and quality. For those of you who have joined us before, we appreciate your support and we hope to see you again soon. And for those of you considering your first California river rafting trip with Whitewater Connection, we look forward to sharing our unique approach to providing a superb california river rafting adventure!

Sincerely,
Don Koolmees and Whitewater Connection Staff
