Adventure (Fitness) Schedule

A fitness vacation like no other! Rafting Escapes offers a schedule that will make you come home from vacation in better shape than you left! We combine nutritious and delicious meals with fitness and nutritional education, kick ass workouts, a great time, and of course; non-stop adventure. You can pick any or all of our schedule offerings, but best results will come when you participate in the full immersion. The activity schedule of physical activity is designed by Cat Smiley to compliment each other and be completed as an immersion. Below are the main fitness portions broken down, which are combined with white water rafting, hiking and rock rappelling.

The Original Boot Camp Navy SEAL inspired physical training with a no excuses coach pushing your personal limits. Wilderness workouts to the maximum, imagine waking up to pristine forest and white water rapids to inspire you to K!ck ass before breakfast. This is suitable to all levels, but only the mentally tough beginner (with a sense of humour) will get through this hour. Complete role play, just like our famous boot camp in Whistler. Bring it on!

Jump School; fitness training to improve reaction time, leg power, agility, co-ordination, agility and fat loss in a playful, fun environment. We typically hike to a spectacular field and bring out the training toys! Agility ladders, medicine balls, tag, soccer drills...parachute sprinters (if you dare!!), some self defence and kick boxing mixed up with stability training. Now that’s a workout!

Nutrition Education; during the course of the week, we run you through the condensed version of our nutrition summit program. This is a comprehensive weight management program for athletic individuals - simple solutions and education for optimal fat loss and muscle gain. Cat Smiley, acclaimed nutritionist works with the cooks at REO to produce her astonishing and dramatic fat loss system though nourishing, lavish food throughout the week. You'll want to take these cooks home with you!

Deep stretching; Cat Smiley's unique dynamic stretching program helps your body recover by realigning your body, including pilates inspired moves to lengthen out your muscles.
