Youth Group Specials
Youth and the outdoors are incredibly important to us here at the Bastrop River Co. That’s why we offer special rates for scout troops and youth groups. We take extra care when assisting a scout leader or youth director to plan a paddling excursion for their youngsters.

Ground logistics may vary based on the size of your group but we work with you to figure out the details of the day.
