Center is your “command central” for the best West
Virginia family vacations and fun, entertaining activities
for kids. You can create a WV weekend
getaway of ‘family fun” combining day adventures with a

vacation as you head south through West
Virginia. Your kids will rave about their West
Virginia family vacation for months!
- Activities just for kids...At our popular
New River Gorge
Adventure Center, we offer rafting for kids as young as 6, rock
climbing, horseback riding and fishing for children as young as 8,
and biking for those 10 and up. You and your family have the optimal
range of choice about what you do and when you do it! Make sure to
leave time for the addictive in-camp fun including volleyball,
videos of the day’s excitement, corn hole tournaments and
delicious ‘kid friendly’ meals.
We have designed
specific trip itineraries for younger outdoor enthusiasts through our
Adventure Discovery Youth Programs to accommodate people of all ages and skill levels.
Plan to stay for
several days to enjoy the abundance of activities the
New River Gorge Adventure Center has to offer. Our
Upper New River rafting trip is formatted for kids, ages 6 and up, where the
primary focus is being together and sharing paddling teamwork and
family fun while bouncing through mild rapids as you raft or kayak in
an inflatable kayak with your family through the dramatic scenery of
the New River Gorge. Older children and adults in your crew will
enjoy high action rafting
on the
Lower New River while
non-adrenaline seekers may prefer one of our New
River Jetboat Tours. Or spend the day
horseback riding through West Virginia hills! You'll experience the beauty
of West Virginia as the pioneers did hundreds of years ago. Walk
through WV meadows or to mountaintops for a picnic lunch or take in
an afternoon of
West Virginia fishing on the New River. If you
prefer a more active day, take a journey through the past by
mountain bike on the Mary Ingles Trail. Reconnect with your family through our Family Time Challenge. And if you still have energy at the end
of the day, sign up for one of our evening
WV rock climbing rappelling trips. We have trips for all skill levels!
