“The Mokelumne River Rafting Adventure is an excellent shorter rafting trip for families, beginners, and anyone interested in enjoying some of Calaveras’ most beautiful scenery. We are grateful to O.A.R.S. for their ongoing generous support of our program and of the Calaveras community,” said Kathryn Eustis, Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program director.
The trip is appropriate for anyone aged 7-87 and swimming ability is not required. Located near Jackson, this stretch of river is considered Class II-III and features several long, peaceful pools with a bit of excitement – two class III rapids, the Chute and the S-Turn – near the end.
O.A.R.S. sets itself apart from other adventure companies by providing the most knowledgeable, passionate, entertaining guides in the business; top-of-the-line, rigorously maintained equipment; and the largest number and most geographically diverse rafting trips in the West.
The Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program connects Calaveras County young people in 1st through 12th grades with safe, positive adult role models who offer support, guidance and friendship and help the youth make healthy life decisions. Administered by the Calaveras County Office of Education, the program matches students with adult volunteers who share their interests and with whom they meet weekly for at least a year.
The program is actively recruiting mentors for local youth. For more information about the Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program and the young people awaiting mentors, please call (209) 736-6078 or visit our website at www.calaverasmentoring.org.
