Grades 3 – 5 on Back to School Raft Trip

Riverstone’s oldest outdoor education tradition, rafting the Payette River, is taking place today. Students in Grades 3-5, parents, and teachers are floating under the care of Cascade Raft and Kayak Company, with whom Riverstone has partnered since our float trip tradition began. Riverstone alumnus, Andrew R., is a crew member for the rafting company (he heads to college soon) and several older Riverstone students with extensive river experience are helping as well. The trip takes place on the upper section of the Main Payette River, which has several exciting Class III rapids and plenty of opportunities for swimming and playing in the water. Cascade’s guides will ensure that everyone has a safe and fun experience, and parents can be assured that the trip is age-appropriate.

Kindergarten through Grade 2 will raft tomorrow. Our youngest students in Preschool will also take the first Preschool raft trip ever from Riverstone next week!

Thanks to PYP Coordinator, Kari Boazman, for taking advantage of technology and emailing pictures back to the school so we can watch the fun from a distance!
