KERN RIVER EXPEDITION

The Kern River area offers excellent learning opportunities for students of any age.  This is also an incredible backdrop for corporate and family retreats. Let WOLF show you all the Sierra have to offer.  This is Southern California's premier adventure playground; Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding, and kayaking are just a few of the many activities available in the spectacular Sierra Nevada Mountains. 

Whitewater rafting is thrilling way to experience the river!

Area Hotels and Conference centers are perfect venues for Family & Corporate retreats, professional development seminars, and intense teambuilding expeditions.  Our staff will work with you to find the perfect locale and design the ideal schedule for your event.

Participants in our Educational Science Camp will assess the health of the river by testing for ammonia, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, pH and coliform..  They will also explore the biotic life of the Kern to give them a rounded view of the river.  The Kern River is host to beavers, three different types of trout, turtles, and numerous birds. 
Hands-on testing lets students understand riparian ecology and science. The first day will be spent setting up camp, orienting the students to their new environment and working on communication and teambuilding skills.  The campsite, along the Kern River, is nestled between high mountain peaks in the southern Sierras.  This unique location allows students to observe many different biomes such as alpine, chaparral, wetland, riparian, and high desert. 
Over the following two days students will have the opportunity to be on the high ropes course, whitewater raft on the Kern River, Mountain Bike the Sierras and partake in hands-on science experiments examining the health of the Kern River. 

The high ropes course will allow students to challenge themselves physically and mentally, as they are 35 feet above the ground.  The white water rafting will include one or two trips down the Kern River, run by trained guides.  Each student will learn water safety and paddling techniques. Each evening, trail groups will meet to explore the mysteries of the night.  We feel that it is important to negate the superstitions of the night and help students to feel comfortable in the darkness.  We will bring out telescopes and a guest speaker for our astronomy lessons.  Other activities include the discovery of nocturnal animals and controlled solo hikes.  After evening program we bring the students together for a closing circle where they acknowledge their accomplishments. A beautiful high ropes course in the campground!
