Who:  Anyone wanting to help BAWT get youth outdoors and have a great day rafting!

This trip is being arranged by a former BAWT board member, Delton, who has been boating for over 20 years and has rafted on more than 25 different rivers throughout the West, including the Grand Canyon. He has also planned/led international rafting trips and is currently planning his third group trip down the Zambezi in Africa!  Delton is certified as a Wilderness First Responder, and has current certifications in Swift Water Rescue, First Aid, and CPR.  Delton will be accompanied by 6 other trained guides who are volunteering their time to make this trip happen, and so all of the proceeds can go straight to BAWT’s efforts.
