- A unique aspect to Outdoor Adventures is that they offer guide schools for each activity. Most university programs either contract out the guiding or have a generic guide school for all of their guides, who then must apprentice each activity. OA is large enough to offer sport-specific training. It can therefore be more thorough and comprehensive. Application will be available at OA's Rental Center in the weeks prior the guide school. Applicants may be called back to do an interview. Finally, the selected few will be allowed to register for this training. After guide school, "TAs" will need to get CPR and WFA (or WFR/EMT) certified, plus TA a few trips.	+ A unique aspect to Outdoor Adventures is that they offer guide schools for each activity.

- Only an hour from ["Davis"], this class III dam-fed ["American River" river] is one of the most popular rivers in the world. It's a wonderful introduction to the sport and a great way for anyone to get out and have fun without having to drive far. The South Fork is a great river for beginner, intermediate, and advanced rafters alike. There are two different runs on the South Fork: the upper "Chili Bar" run and the lower "Gorge" run. OA runs both depending on the season (usually the Gorge is run in spring/summer and Chili Bar during late summer to fall). When the water is super cold like in April and May, OA provides wetsuits for rafters. In the summer heat, you can get away without wetsuits (and often people like to jump in the river to cool down), but it's always good to make sure you wear ["Sun Protection" sunscreen] or some other ["sun protection"] because hours on a river = potentially nasty sunburns. Check in with OA for all the details of things you should and should not bring on a rafting trip.

- '''Outdoor Adventures''' is one of the largest university outdoor programs in the United States. They run trips and classes in a variety of disciplines year round. Part of ["Campus Recreation"], student fees help support the program, although it still costs money to go on trips. Trips are open to everyone in the general public with discounts to students and "university affiliates". Trips are somewhat ["Cooperatives" cooperative] in nature, meaning that participants will often carpool to locations and coordinate food on longer trips. They offer a wide variety trips every weekend as well as certain types of night classes and longer trips during vacation periods.

- Whitewater rafting is in a way the lifeblood of the program. The majority of people that participate in an OA adventure do so rafting. UCD OA is one of the largest commercial rafting outfitters in the state. They hold permits that allow for many dozens of people to go rafting a day and have a fleet of over 10 paddle rafts -- Outdoor Adventures only utilizes oar boats to haul gear on longer trips. The nature of OA's raft program is pretty much limited to class III, though they offer one or two class IV trips. Guide school is during Spring Break.	+ Whitewater rafting is in a way the lifeblood of the program. The majority of people that participate in an OA adventure do so rafting.

- Only an hour and a half from ["Davis"], this class II-III dam-fed ["American River" river] is one of the most popular rivers in the world. It's a wonderful introduction to the sport and a great way for anyone to get out and have fun without having to drive far. There are many options for "doing the South Fork". OA runs one and two day trips. The South Fork is a great river for beginner, intermediate, and advanced rafters alike. There are two different runs on the South Fork: the upper "Chili Bar" run and the lower "Gorge" run. OA runs both depending on the season (usually the Gorge is run in spring/summer and Chili Bar during late summer to fall). If you go on a 2-day trip, you probably get to do both! When the water is super cold like in April and May, OA provides wetsuits for rafters. In the summer heat, you can get away without wetsuits (and often people like to jump in the river to cool down), but it's always good to make sure you wear ["Sun Protection" sunscreen] or some other ["sun protection"] because hours on a river = potentially nasty sunburns. Check in with OA for all the details of things you should and should not bring on a rafting trip. Helmets are not required, but always welcome.	+ Only an hour from ["Davis"], this class III dam-fed ["American River" river] is one of the most popular rivers in the world.

- The "bigger brother" of the South Fork, this section is a step up in difficulty and is encouraged for intermediate to advanced rafters. Exhilarating class IV rapids greet rafters during much of the journey and OA encourages people to have at least some paddling experience before they sign up. The North Fork is strictly dependent on water flows from snowmelt since the river flows aren't regulated by a dam, so it is usually run in spring to early summer. After that, the flow tends to become too low for rafting. Since trips are usually in spring and early summer, the water is quite cold and OA encourages all rafters to wear wetsuits. Additionally, class IV rapids require that rafters wear helmets.	+ The "bigger brother" of the South Fork, this section is a step up in difficulty and is encouraged for intermediate to advanced rafters.

The trip is not exclusively kayaking, as there are many opportunities to go ["Hiking and Backpacking" hiking], snorkeling or just bumming around on the ["Beaches" beach]. You are likely to see sea lions, birds, fish, sting rays and possibly some dolphins or whales. There are typically two trips in the winter back to back, and two in the spring back to back.

- Only an hour and a half from ["Davis"], this class II-III dam-fed ["American River" river] is one of the most popular rivers in the world. It's a wonderful introduction to the sport and a great way for anyone to get out and have fun without having to drive far. There are many options for "doing the South Fork". OA runs one and two day trips. The South Fork is a great river for beginner, intermediate, and advanced rafters alike. There are two different runs on the South Fork: the upper "Chili Bar" run and the lower "Gorge" run. OA runs both depending on the season (usually the Gorge is run in spring/summer and Chili Bar during late summer to fall). If you go on a 2-day trip, you probably get to do both! When the water is super cold like in April and May, OA provides wetsuits for rafters. In the summer heat, you can get away without wetsuits (and often people like to jump in the river to cool down), but it's always good to make sure you wear sunscreen or some other sun protection because hours on a river = potentially nasty sunburns. Check in with OA for all the details of things you should and should not bring on a rafting trip. Helmets are not required, but always welcome.	+ Only an hour and a half from ["Davis"], this class II-III dam-fed ["American River" river] is one of the most popular rivers in the world.

Transportation is generally provided. + + === Yosemtie Snowcamping === + Leaving from Glacier Point Road, these overnight trips are a great introduction to the fineries of being comfortable while camping in the snow. You travel on snowshoes with heavy packs for a couple of miles to make camp in what is often a stunningly beautiful area. It's definitely a trip you won't forget! +

Because the rapids are class IV, OA encourages people to have at least some paddling experience before they sign up for their own safety as well as the safety of others. The North Fork is strictly dependent on water flows from snowmelt since the river flows aren't regulated by a dam, so it is usually run in spring to early summer.

- Only an hour and a half from ["Davis"], this class III river is one of the most popular rivers in the world.

It's a wonderful introduction to the sport and a great way for anyone to get out and have fun without having to drive far. There are many options for "doing the South Fork". OA runs one and two day trips. The South Fork is a great river for beginner, intermediate, and advanced rafters alike. There are two different runs on the South Fork: the upper "Chili Bar" run and the lower "Gorge" run. OA runs both depending on the season (usually the Gorge is run in spring/summer and Chili Bar during late summer to fall). If you go on a 2-day trip, you probably get to do both! When the water is super cold like in April and May, OA provides wetsuits for rafters. In the summer heat, you can get away without wetsuits (and often people like to jump in the river to cool down), but it's always good to make sure you wear sunscreen or some other sun protection because hours on a river = potentially nasty sunburns. Check in with OA for all the details of things you should and should not bring on a rafting trip. Helmets are not necessary, but always welcome.

The Klamath features rapids up to class III and is good for rafters of all levels. This scenic river is located in the beautiful and rugged woods of northern California. Seeing bald eagles and other wildlife is not uncommon on a Klamath trip. It's a long drive, but well worth it.
