What is the CFI Experience?

• Spring: a great end-of-the-year reward for hard-working students! Programs run April through June. Spring brings wildflowers and many visitors; the days are warm, nights cool, and all the rivers are inviting. Spring is quite popular, so get reservations in early. Programs are based at our Professor Valley Field Camp outside Moab through second week of June then we head to the cool of our sub-alpine La Sal Mountains Field Camp. The cool, lush sub-alpine forest and rafting on the Colorado River are a welcome relief from warmer temperatures below. We also conduct programs on the Colorado, Dolores, San Juan and Green rivers from Mid-April to Mid-July.
• Fall: a super way to kick off the new school year. Mid-August through Mid-October. Guaranteed to generate inspiration, unity, and an excitement about learning the entire year for students and teachers alike. Reliably pleasant weather. Programs are based either at the La Sal base camp, the Professor Valley Field Camp or on the Colorado, San Juan or Green Rivers.

(We suggest you start 9 to 12 months in advance and no less than 2 months in advance to secure the optimal trip dates, locations and for smooth logistical planning).
