Ready to ride the wave from beginner to river warrior? Flume Flow is a dynamic week-long whitewater adventure designed for aspiring paddlers eager to build confidence on moving water while exploring some of Southwest Colorado’s most iconic river features.
We kick off the week on Monday at the Montrose Water Sports Park, where instructors introduce campers to the fundamentals of whitewater safety, paddling technique, river features, and boat control. Once the basics are in place, we’ll take those skills downstream—literally.
On Tuesday, we gear up for a double overnight. After paddling the valley floor section of the San Miguel, we’ll travel to Paradox Valley to prepare for an overnight expedition on the Dolores River. On Wednesday, campers will put their skills to the test as they navigate sections near the historic Hanging Flume, working as a team to scout lines, read the water, and tackle new challenges. That evening, we’ll camp under the stars along the river, fully immersed in a classic multi-day paddling experience.
By Thursday, we return to Telluride, celebrating a week of courage, growth, and river-borne adventure—connected by new friendships, shared laughter, and the steady rhythm of the water.
