Field Trip Information

Please be sure to bring the following items with you for your day trip to RVR:

• water bottle
• packed lunch
• wear closed-toe shoes
• dress in layers (bring gloves if applicable)
• long pants (required for horses or paintball)

DO NOT bring: weapons, tobacco, nicotine, vape products, alcohol, pets, immodest/offensive clothing, or valuables (iPods, laptops, jewelry, etc.) that could be lost or damaged.

• Closed-toe shoes are required for all activities
• Long pants are required for paintball and horseback riding
• Dress in layers - activities can warm you up quickly
• Bring gloves for cold weather

We've got options!

• Adventure in the rain: If it's safe, many activities still run in wet weather
• Schedule changes: Indoor options like the climbing tower, ninja barn, archery tag, paintball, and gym games can be substituted
• Reschedule: If needed, we'll work with you to move your trip to another time

At RVR, safety comes first - because it's the key to having fun! We follow the highest standards in the camping industry. For details, visit our Activity Safety Page.

You’re not alone! RVR facilitators are skilled at helping guests push past fears and discover what they’re capable of. Don’t let a fear of heights hold you back—why not give it a try?

For school and group trips, visiting groups are responsible for providing their own chaperones to supervise students throughout their visit. RVR staff will lead and facilitate scheduled activities, but school chaperones are expected to remain with their group at all times, including during transitions and free time.

We recommend the following minimum chaperone-to-student ratios based on age:

• Grades 9-12 → 1:10
• Grades 6-8 → 1:8
• Grades 3-5 → 1:6
• Grades K-2 → 1:5

Please note that additional RVR staff are present during all high-risk activities (such as archery, ropes courses, and paintball) to ensure safety and support your chaperones.

One participating chaperone is free for every 10 students. Additional chaperones are asked to pay the activity fee.

We may be able to accommodate special needs depending on the activity. Your safety is our top priority, so we won’t allow participation if it could cause harm. Please contact us before arrival to discuss any conditions or special requests.

Most activities last 1–2 hours, and participant numbers vary. For details, visit our Field Trip Activities page.
