Since 1978 we’ve been river rafting California through our American River white water rafting adventures. Your enjoyment & safety is our top priority.

White Water Rafting California

Our Staff

Norm Schoenhoff has owned Whitewater Excitement since its inception in 1978. He is still involved in leading some of the river trips and is always on hand to help his staff and guides to organize the trips.

Scout Groups

We are your professional partners for planning the best in California Scout group outdoor adventure experiences. Over the past 30 years we have helped scouts earn whitewater merit badges, learn about river and it’s surrounding environment, and have a fun and safe experience.

Both boy and girl scout groups have been coming to the Whitewater Excitement camp each year for the last 30 years to raft, camp, earn merit badges, learn about the river, whitewater techniques, and have a fun time on the American River.

We are pleased to offer these specially priced American River rafting trips for the entire family. This is your opportunity to share the outdoors with your children so they might learn to value these wilderness areas and work to preserve them for future generations. Oh, and your kids will be thanking you for the most amazing adventure vacation yet!

We offer many different options for families with kids 5-16 years of age. From our Family 50% Discount trips to our Young Rafters Trips (ages 5 and up) and Young Rafters Overnight Adventure, finally to our Sunset Cruise Class 2 trip on the “Lower Section” of the North Fork of the American river, just below the town of Auburn, CA.
