Join the Jasper County Conservation staff for a fun adventure in beautiful Northeast Iowa. You will experience a three-day trip that will challenge you both mentally and physically. Our adventure will consist of a 16-mile kayak trip on the Upper Iowa River spanning two days. Previous paddling and tent camping experience is preferred but not required. A pre-trip workshop will be held the week before our departure and is required for camp participants. This workshop will cover basic water safety, river navigation by kayak, and tent camping basics. Participants will be selected using an application process. Applications are due May 24. For more information about the camp please contact goldsen@jasperia.org.
