About

Students love the opportunity to get outside to learn about nature and compete in group activities that promote bonding and understanding.

$20 per person - 20 person minimum

We've had students from schools all across the county as well as home school groups come spend the day with us. At our Outpost (where you park) we have the following amenities: restrooms, showers/changing rooms, hammocks, swings, stage, picnic tables, propane grills (propane supplied), fridge, ice maker, water dispenser, microwave, coffee maker, sinks and more. Most groups grill a lunch or bring a picnic lunch to eat before heading back to school. Students will also enjoy a variety of yard games available at the Outpost: giant connect 4, giant jenga, giant tic tac toe, corn hole, ring toss, slack line, etc.

Below is a list of our various activities available for the students to participate in while at River Island Adventures. All activities are optional and depending on the number of students we can divide them into groups to do different activities at the same time. Give us a call to customize an itinerary for your group of students!
