Eddie Goldstein will be joining your team of fun guides to make your canoe trip memorable and “magical.” He has been a professional magician for more than four decades working in dinner theaters and other venues all over the world. During the evenings, plan to watch some world-class magic. He will also be running several juggling workshops during your time in camp for those interested. And, as a special bonus, since he is also a professional science educator, he may throw in an astronomy talk or two. Eddie Goldstein Website

Also anticipated throughout your trip, are a variety of games. If you’re interested in playing games such as Dead Fish Polo, Ultimate Ninja, Win It in a Minute, Categories, Scavenger Hunt or just want to find out what they are all about, then join the trip for a lot of laughs and family fun.

Canoeing in Colorado on the Gunnison River will spark your sense of adventure with opportunities for hiking and exploring, floating in your lifejacket and camping along the river’s edge. During this Colorado canoe trip covering 31 miles, you will be dwarfed by high walls of red sandstone and shale deposited during the age of the dinosaurs. These canyons in the Colorado Plateau are truly magnificent and not soon forgotten. Massive cottonwoods stand on many river bends supporting the huge nests of blue herons, hawks and eagles. You may hike into Dominguez Canyon, Colorado’s newest designated Wilderness Area, one of the most beautiful stops on the river. Hiking into the canyon will reveal deep, cool swimming holes, waterfalls and many ancient Indian petroglyphs (rock art panels).
