We invite you to explore the possibilities with whitewater rafting & kayaking at Wet Planet for your outdoor program or adventure camp.
The Columbia River Gorge as an Adventure Playground
Located in the Columbia River Gorge, Wet Planet sits in the epicenter for every type of outdoor activity. Our program specialists can help you find a river rafting trip or kayak course designed to work within your unique program.

Working with your Group Leaders
Working with adventure groups is our specialty. We enjoy developing custom programs that fit within your group's itinerary and goals.
Our instructors and guides help to reinforce the skills your group leaders work to build on a daily basis.
