Testimonials

"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and would do the trip again...the campsite was phenomenal and provided lots of entertainment during our full day in camp."

Danielle Johnson, Denver, CO

"We've been working with Centennial Canoe since about 1993, and the canoe trips are among the most popular programs that we offer. Each trip is a unique educational adventure, and many customers return yearly."

Liz Davis, Travel and Excursion Program Coordinator, Denver Museum of Nature and Science

"My only get-away for the summer! I discovered muscles I never knew I had, scenery I had never seen before, food that was marvelous, and guides who amazed me with their energy, skill, patience, and people skills. They both put so much into the trip every minute that I'd think they'd be totally exhausted by now!"

Bev Bishop, Westminster, CO

"The guides were wonderful hosts and so wonderful with the kids! My daughter is already talking about next year's adventure with you all - again, thanks so much!"

Christine Mastin, Cherry Hills Village, CO

"The expert knowledge, safety and warm caring attitudes of the guides were awesome! We were always safe and knew what would be happening the next day. "
