Corporate events we specialize in:

  • Team Building – Get your team out of the conference room for collaboration that happens naturally on the river
  • Corporate Retreats – Multi-day or single-day experiences for leadership teams and company offsites
  • Sales Kickoffs – Celebrate wins and energize your team for the quarter ahead
  • Client Hospitality – Give clients an experience that strengthens business relationships
  • Holiday Parties – Turn your holiday celebration into an unforgettable experience
  • Incentive Trips – Reward top performers with an adventure that recognizes their achievement

Not sure where to start? Tell us about your event (type, group size, dates, what you’re hoping to accomplish) and we’ll help you figure out what works best.

Our Buena Vista location is less than two hours from Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, so your group can raft in the morning and still make afternoon commitments – or turn it into a full-day experience. And after? The Beach is right here for the post-event gathering your group needs.

Group Pricing & Logistics

Corporate event pricing is based on trip length, group size, and date. We offer tiered pricing and dedicated coordination to keep planning simple and logistics smooth. We can also help coordinate renting out The Beach for your group for post-trip meals, drinks, and networking.

Whether you’re bringing 10 people or 100+, we’ve handled it before. Our basecamp is designed for corporate groups: easy parking, streamlined arrivals, and space to organize without chaos.

We had an absolute ahhhmazing experience today. We had Noah as our tour guide and could not have asked for a better time. Thank You! Everything was well explained and the conversations were so helpful and informative as we rafted. Would recommend coming here for any age and stage in life. There were little people on other rafts in our group that did wonderful too.

Enjoyed a great whitewater rafting trip with River Runners near Buena Vista. The River guide Shaun was excellent- he made the trip fun. He was a great coach in guiding us down River. Had a great experience with Courtney in making my trip reservation. They also recently opened a restaurant on the property and serve awesome fish tacos. Check out River Runners for an exciting and fun day on the water!

I very rarely leave reviews, but we had an awesome run with Tay! She was easily the best guide I've ever rafted with, including my past runs on other rivers in Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina & Georgia. Literally everyone in the boat had a blast, kids and adults included! We will definitely ask for her again.

We have been coming to River Runners yearly for almost a decade. It’s one of the highlights of our summer! The guides are ALL fantastic (Ask for William, also known as Mr Pancake), knowledgeable, safe, and entertaining. It's a GREAT activity for families and adults, the scenery is stunning.

Planning Details

Have questions about what to expect, safety, or whether rafting is right for your event? We’ve got you covered.

Safety is our top priority. All trips are led by certified, experienced guides. Every participant gets a thorough safety orientation, proper gear (wetsuits, helmets, PFDs), and we’ll match your group to the appropriate river section based on experience levels and comfort.

If you have specific concerns or participants with varying comfort levels, we’re happy to talk through it. Call us at 719-966-1570.

That’s completely normal, and we work with corporate groups all the time where fitness levels and outdoor experience vary widely. Our guides are skilled at making first-timers feel confident and supported. We’ll help you choose a trip that’s exciting but accessible for your entire group.

We’re equipped for::

  • Team-building offsites and retreats
  • Sales kickoffs and quarterly celebrations
  • Client entertainment and hospitality events
  • Holiday parties and end-of-year celebrations
  • Incentive trips and recognition programs
  • Leadership retreats and executive team gatherings

If you’re considering rafting for your event, we can help you figure out if it’s the right fit.

Corporate events book quickly, especially during peak season (June-August) and around popular company event dates. For larger groups, early planning helps ensure availability. Advanced reservations are highly recommended, but walk-ins are welcome if space is available. This is not always the case; especially during peak season and on weekends.

Absolutely. The Beach restaurant & bar is on-site for post-trip dining. We can also help coordinate renting it out for your group, giving you space for meals, debriefs, and networking.

This is especially popular for client entertainment events and sales kickoffs where you want the experience to feel complete and well-hosted.

Yes. We’re equipped to handle corporate groups from 10 to 100+ people. Our basecamp is designed for large arrivals, and we can coordinate multiple rafts, staggered start times, and logistics to keep everything running smoothly.

We’ll provide clear pre-trip information so everyone knows exactly what to bring, but the basics are:

  • Clothes that can get wet (synthetic or quick-dry work best)
  • Secure footwear (no flip-flops)
  • Sunscreen
  • Towel and dry clothes for after

We provide all rafting gear (wetsuits, splash jackets, helmets, PFDs).

Once you submit a quote request, our team will follow up to confirm details, discuss your event goals, recommend the best trip options, answer questions about logistics and coordination, and discuss Beach reservations if you’re interested. There’s no obligation; just helpful guidance to make your corporate event successful.

If you’re still unsure, reach out. We’re happy to help.
