Company Outings

Companies looking for unique company trips and teambuilding experiences don’t have to travel any further than PA or NY. You can have Whitewater Challengers organize a team building program with a facilitator at the Lehigh River. Use our recreation field for your activities, or just spend the day on the river. Whitewater rafting encourages teambuilding naturally. Raft mates must work together in order to keep the boat in the right direction and avoid pinning against rocks. Choose from three different locations: the Lehigh River in the Poconos PA, the Hudson River in the Adirondacks NY and the Black River in the Thousand Islands Region of NY. Choose which river you want to raft based on experience level and the age of your group.
