The River Camp: multi-activity whitewater on the Ubaye
Rafting, hydrospeed, kayaking, gorge walking — several days in the heart of the Ubaye valley to improve your whitewater skills, share the experience, and come home with so much more than a memory. For groups looking for a fully organised adventure from start to finish.
One course, several activities, one river
The idea behind the River Camp is to set up for several days on the banks of the Ubaye and explore whitewater in all its forms — not just one descent and goodbye. Each day is built around one or two supervised activities with our guides, at your level and your pace.
Over several days, something happens: the group progresses. Lines become sharper, reading the water improves, confidence grows. That collective progression is the real value of a stay — something a single half-day simply can’t offer.
Activities on offer
🍽️ Lunch at Na !Déj’, a highlight

Morning: first supervised activity
Midday: lunch at Na !Déj’ or at the base
Afternoon: second supervised activity
4 pm: free time

This format is designed for established groups looking for an organised collective adventure: friends, families, sports clubs, leisure centres, municipal sports & youth services, school groups. If you’re working on a pedagogical, educational or team-building programme built around outdoor sports, this is exactly the kind of stay we know how to organise.
Multi-activity logistics over several days is often the main obstacle for groups: finding slots, coordinating guides, managing different ability levels. We handle all of that — you have a single point of contact for the entire activities programme.
