The rowing clinic delivered! It's ideal for private boaters looking to level up. It was full on (maximum value) and I slept like a frog in a log each night. Not only did we have ample practice rowing, setting ferry angles and catching eddies, we also spent time learning all the lil things like knots and boat rigging, vital to a smooth trip. Adrift made me feel welcome, able to fail and try again. It's the sort of active travel/learning trip that I crave. The crew was so patient and fun, the food was good and we even got some great acoustic jams at night. I highly recommend it.

Still reveling in the excitement and thrill of the rowing clinic—and will be for a long time. What a trip with amazing people, especially the guides. The Adrift crew welcomed us into their family and shared their love of the river and canyon, each adding their own touch—whether a kind word, a well-timed caution, or a welcomed high five. The learning environment was collaborative and safe, creating the opportunity to truly challenge myself. I had so many aha moments in rowing and navigation! As a lifelong learner, I found the Adrift family’s knowledge to be endless and would highly recommend re-organizing your life if needed to make sure you can fit this clinic in.

The Adrift Team masterfully bestowed their indelible knowledge of river running during this 4-day clinic through the inspiring Gates of Lodore. I experienced a drastic improvement in my skills from reading water lines to timing eddie angles with proper momentum and eventually running class three rapids clean. The teachers created a safe environment where I could push my limits, achieve goals, and gain confidence. I highly recommend this course for anyone ready to level-up.
