Reviews From Previous Groups

Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions:

We were very happy with everything that we experienced with Mild to Wild. The professionalism and enthusiasm from educating our team on the different levels and rivers to the guides being able to adapt to working with 20+ ten-year-olds, and knowing exactly what everyone needed and maintaining the schedule we needed. Rafting isn’t a normal part of our curriculum here but it was probably one of the better trips we did in 2019, and hope that we can include it into the curriculum in 2020 and on.

Aspen Community School:

Amazing. The guides were supportive, hilarious, patient, accommodating, and provided so many opportunities for the kids to understand the river, river safety, desert camping etiquette, and overall how to have an amazing river experience. They made sure that there was plenty of food, playtime and games. The kids were exhausted from all of the wonderfulness from the trip! Thank you Grace, Sam and Eric!!!

Girl Scout Troop on a 3-Day San Miguel Trip:

Our Girl Scout Troop had a blast on our 3-day rafting trip. Our guides, Emma, Nickel, and Mike, were amazing. They were fun, knowledgeable and made our trip so fun. Our group ranged in age from 12 to 46. Everyone had a great time.
