Alaska River Camping and Dining
The river takes you there and CRATE does everything else to make your rafting experience the best it can be. We furnish clean, comfortable camping gear, fresh and delicious meals, and top-notch rafting equipment.
All of our expeditions are fully outfitted. We provide a sleeping bag, foam pad and ground cloth; tents; dry bags for clothing, cameras and personal items; all meals beginning with lunch for the first day; plates, cups and utensils; water bottle, coffee mug; and Coast Guard approved life preservers.
Alaska River Camping and Dining Equipment
A freshly laundered sleeping bag will provide warmth for cool evening camp nights. Each person receives their personal sleeping bag for the duration of the trip upon arrival to the river.
A thick Therm-A-Rest pad will offer you a comfortable nights sleep while on your trip. Its internal structure contours to your body and provides unmatched stability and warmth without the weight or bulk of conventional insulation.
Two-person dome tent with rain fly is provided. We used The North Face VE-25 tents, which are suitable for Alaska expeditions.
You will received one large waterproof bag for clothing and personal items. Dry bags are 5200 cu. in (16″ diameter x 25″ tall) when fully packed. A slightly smaller bag will hold your “sleep kit” with sleeping bag, foam pad and ground cloth.
A Kokatat Dry Suit will be available to wear the first day of the trip going through the rapids.
A Coast Guard approved life jacket will be fitted to you on the first day of your trip.
We emphasize sanitation and cleanliness on the river. Portable hand-washing devices are set up in every camp and during lunch breaks.
Portable toilets facilities are set up at each camp during the trip.
We provide you with a souvenir 32 oz water bottle and 16 oz coffee mug to use for the duration of your trip.
Plates and utensils will be provided for your use while on your trip. We just ask for help washing your dishes after a meal.
Dining on the River
We were truly amazed at the variety and quality of the meals day after day. – Eric S.
Our meals consist of a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products. They are nutritious and delicious. Although we do not serve a “vegetarian” menu, we do provide enough fresh produce and non-meat items that most vegetarian dieters get along fine for the week they are on the river.
We are willing to try and help with special diet requests, but if your food options are very restrictive or require extra time or preparations we may not be able to accommodate you. Please give us a call to discuss your particular diet needs. We may suggest that you bring some of your own food items to supplement our menu.
