The Wet Planet Rafting and Kayaking Newsletter! |  |

| Hello Rafters, Kayakers, and Group and Event Organizers, Winter
is here! And that means that our mountains are already getting covered
with the snow that will bring another great whitewater season in
the Spring. However, if a long gray winter is too long to wait before
your next whitewater rafting or kayaking adventure, then you won’t
want to miss our Costa Rica Whitewater Adventure!
Wet Planet Costa Rica Expeditions - At Wet Planet, it's always paddling season somewhere! This March, leave the wet-suits and dry-tops at home and join the Wet Planet Team as we travel through Costa Rica on a whitewater adventure trip!
Check out images from our trips to this beautiful country by visiting our Costa Rica Photo Gallery! Costa Rica is home turf for Wet Planet founders Todd Collins and Jaco Klinkenberg (both previously lived in Costa Rica guiding custom whitewater and adventure travel trips) and Wet Planet kayak instructor and raft guide Jonathan Blum is currently spending his winter living and paddling in the country. You will benefit from their knowledge of the area and the culture, as they give you access to the country and its rivers in a way that only someone who speaks the language and has lived in the culture can. return to top Dates:

Like last year, 5% of this year’s Holiday Sales will go to Mercy Corps, an organization dedicated to providing relief assistance and long term solutions for areas afflicted by conflict and disaster. Another 5% will be donated to The Headwaters Institute. This non-profit organization encourages and supports an associated network of educators and leaders in the river recreation industry who organize interpretative trainings for professional river guides and the public. These seminars aim to inspire individuals and communities to care for and connect with their watershed. The Headwaters donation will be allocated towards the 2007 White Salmon River Symposium. return to top
