Teamwork

Our Delaware river rafting trips are an excellent opportunity to teach teamwork. For years, we’ve been helping summer camps and youth groups facilitate these opportunities to learn about the power of working together. Our rafts fit up to 6 people, each equipped with a paddle. Our routes take paddlers through Class 1 & 2 rapids, as well as through calmer pools of water, making them accessible for all experience levels and great for large groups of younger guests!

Socializing

A Delaware River tubing or rafting trips serve as an exciting venue to socialize with friends and family. Create lasting memories by traversing the river with your nearest and dearest. Bring a floating cooler to pack a lunch, and find a spot along the river to enjoy a waterfront picnic (we also sell floating coolers at our camp store!). Plus, our large group campsites are great for creating a communal camping experience.

Exercise

Canoeing or kayaking down the Delaware can serve as a great work out in addition to offering the same stunning views as our rafting and tubing trips. So if you’ve got an extra adventurous group of people looking for an active outing, our canoes and kayaks are a great option. Plus we have tandem kayaks available for those who want to buddy up!

De-Stress

Being outside in the fresh mountain air, surrounded by lush vegetation, is a proven method to de-stress. Especially with the amount of time we spend on screens these days, enjoying an unplugged activity is crucial to avoid burnout. Reward yourself and your team with a float down the river and keep an eye out for wildlife along the way!

Discounts

We can’t promise that every outdoor activity promises this, but at Kittatinny, we offer special discounts and rates when you book a large group. Because we’ve been operating for over 80 years, we’re well-equipped and well-versed in accommodating groups of any size, from 10 to 20 to 100 or more! For a limited time, we’re offering groups of 50 or more 30% off their weekday (Monday – Friday) rafting trip. But hurry, this offer expires May 1!
