Whitewater Rafting the Ocoee River, TN

Register

Get Outside with Outdoor Adventures (OA)!

We’re kicking things off this semester with a splash! Join us for an exciting 10-mile whitewater rafting trip. Trip is set for Saturday, Aug. 30 to Monday, Sept. 1 (Labor Day weekend—no classes Monday!). Here’s the plan: Saturday – Drive up to Tennessee and explore along the way; Sunday – Raft all day with professional guides from Quest Expeditions in Ocoee, TN; Monday – Head home, with a few fun stops along the way. We’ll be staying on-site in air-conditioned bunkhouses—each room sleeps four and includes twin-size bunks. The bunkhouse also has two full bathrooms, indoor full sized fridge, outdoor grill, and outdoor sand volleyball court.

Every trip is led by at least two trained OA staff or volunteers, with transportation included. If the activity requires additional professionals, they’ll be there too! All other details—like what’s provided and what to bring—will be in the trip itinerary. It’s your responsibility to read it thoroughly so you know what to expect. You can view the full itinerary on our registration page.

Who can join? All UWF students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate! Each UWF member also gets one “plus one,” meaning a non-UWF friend or family member can join too. To get your guest set up, they’ll need an OA Plus One Membership. To get your guest access to this free, year-long OA Plus One Membership, just email OA—even if they already have a RecWell account. This membership is only available through OA and isn’t offered anywhere else. Once it’s added, your guest will be able to register and join you on OA trips!
