Healing Waters Wilderness Adventures Healing Waters provides emotionally and physically safe outdoors trips for nonprofit organizations. The psychological toll itself is huge. A bit apprehensive?

Living with an illness can be very emotionally and physically draining. Healing Waters Wilderness Adventures exists to help its participants step outside from all of that, if only for a short time. We offer incredibly fun weekend and weekday trips open to people with HIV and AIDS. Our participant trips have been designed specifically with the special needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS in mind. For low fees, we are able to provide transportation, insurance, accommodation (tents, sleeping bags and pads), equipment, instruction, and any warm clothing you may need including rain jackets, wool socks, and much more. The meals we provide are specially designed to be high in protein and nutritionally balanced as well. We also welcome caregivers and partners on our trips regardless of their HIV status, for the same low price. That's okay. Many of our participants are new to outdoor sports, fewer still have ever gone camping. Our programs are designed to accommodate all skill levels and we strongly encourage beginners!

Want to become a whitewater raft guide? It's adventure with purpose!

This spring, Healing Waters Wilderness Adventures is offering you the chance to earn your stripes on the South Fork American River — and use those skills to give back in a meaningful way.

Healing Waters is a Sacramento-based nonprofit that has been empowering people affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use disorders, under-resourced youth, and the LGBTQIA+ community through transformative outdoor experiences since 1996. Their raft guide training program is how they make it all happen — and they need passionate, adventurous volunteers like you.
