ABOUT US
America’s Rafting Company consists of Jarrett, Lauren, and our awesome guides. Jarrett and Lauren met in 2008 while living at a ski resort in Vermont. Jarrett had been spending his summers guiding and that next summer, he introduced Lauren to rafting. That was it. They have been rafting together ever since.
Jarrett has been guiding for over 12 years throughout the United States. After owning a catering company together in Jackson Hole, Lauren and Jarrett decided to put their passions for rivers and food together.

SO WHY GO RAFTING WITH ARC?
GREAT SERVICE
Our goal is to provide an unforgettable vacation. There’s no worry about what’s for dinner, how to get to the next destination, or how to entertain the kids. We take care of it all for you. Our trips include transportation to and from the river, top of the line gear, restaurant quality meals, luxurious camping (or glamping if you prefer) and activities all day long.
SAFETY
Safety is the top priority. We use top of the line equipment and knowledgable guides. Each of our guides must go through our own rigorous training programs for White Water Rescue and Backcountry Hiking. All ARC guides are certified with the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board and hold a minimum medical training of CPR/First Aid. Many carry Wilderness Advanced First Aid and CPR certifications. They are talented professionals who have guided rafting expeditions throughout the states and even the world. Above all, each ARC guide is friendly, caring, kind and lots of fun to be around.
GREAT GUIDES
They are adventurers at heart and their love for the outdoors and others is unsurpassed. ARC Guides are unmatched in quality and experience. They run the rivers out of love and nothing else, well, maybe to tell stories around the campfire. Not only are our guides very skilled boatmen, they also have deep knowledge of the river’s history, ecology, geology, and environmental patterns. They are experts at making sure guests feel extremely comfortable while enjoying the river. Many of our customers will return year after year and request favorite guides that they have rafted with in previous seasons.
GREAT FOOD
We love food. We think about it all day long. Our trips include lunch on day one through lunch on the last day. Breakfasts consist of waffles/pancakes, sausage/bacon, eggs, hash, fruit, yogurt, and homemade granola. Lunches are delicious riverside sandwiches, wraps, cookies, fruit and chips. Dinners are our specialty. Appetizers are served just after arrival at camp during a happy hour. The main course is always accompanied by homemade bread, salad and veggies. Something sweet like brownies, cake or cobbler always finish our meals. Wherever possible, we buy amazing local produce and meat.
Do you have food allergies or sensitivities? Are you a vegetarian or vegan? No problem. Here at ARC, we would be happy to tailor a river menu to your needs. Just let us know when you book the trip.
COMFORT
We provide each guest with a thick inflatable sleeping pad, a freshly laundered sleeping bag and pillow. A 4 person tent is provided for every 1 or 2 people. That makes for a comfortable night (although actually sleeping in the tent is optional-sometimes the stars are just too beautiful to be in a tent).
ARC also provides camp chairs and dining tables for excellent riverside dining and relaxing.

PRIVATE OR CHARTERED RIVER TRIPS
WHAT’S A PRIVATE OR CHARTERED TRIP?
A private or chartered river trip is when you have the whole trip to yourself and your group. No strangers on these trips. Whether it’s 2 people, 32 people, or 67 people, the trip is completely yours.
Customize the timing of the trip, the activities, the food, and even the transportation. These trips are built around creating the perfect trip for your needs.
WHEN ARE THESE TRIPS AVAILABLE?
Private river trips can be scheduled May-October. Different times of year are better for different groups. July and August are great for families. September trips are great because Hells Canyon cools down and it’s a quieter time of year. Contact us and we’ll work with your to figure out the best time for you and your group.
WHO CAN COME?
Anyone in good health ages 7-70+!
Private river trips are great for families, groups of friends, bachelor or bachlorette parties, private fishing trips, or just a bunch of buddies who just want the river to themselves.
ON WHAT RIVERS?
Hells Canyon on the Snake River on the border of Idaho and Oregon for groups up to 18 people.
The Salmon River in central Idaho for groups of 2 or more.
