Family & Friends Group

Whitewater Trips

Hundreds of groups (family reunions, neighborhood friends, singles clubs, adult religious groups, social clubs, etc.) have white water rafted with us since 1983. We have two beautiful, riverside base camps that have comfortable space for socializing before and after raft trips. Our facility on the Kennebec River in Maine is perfect for overnight gatherings. It is complete with many lodging options, restaurant, pub and large conference space. Our base in Massachusetts sits on the Deerfield River. It was completely renovated in 2008 and includes space for relaxed gatherings, meals and socializing before and after raft trips.

Check out the discounted rafting rates for groups (12 or more rafters) of friends and family.

Groups will have the option of picking the discounted prices for each member of the group or free trip(s) for the group leaders or person spending their special day at Crab Apple (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.). In addition, see the "Options" such as pre- and post- trip refreshments, meal upgrades and lodging packages.

Important Payment Note:

To receive group discounts, all payments must be made with one credit card or check.
