Blue Star Camps Rafting with Blue Heron Whitewater June 19, 2008Blue Star Camps have been rafting on the French Broad River near Asheville, NC since the early 1990s. This year, they sought out Blue Heron Whitewater to take their campers, boys and girls ages 9-11, group river rafting. Their first trip was June 19 with 56 campers that day. Conditions were awesome, great weather and good water levels.

We are certainly no strangers to them!  They rafted with us for years when we ran the French Broad Outpost of the Nantahala Outdoor Center. When the camp director, Tom, realized that we had started our own company on the French Broad this season, he sought us out because he trusted our expertise, passion for rafting and kids, excellent service, years of experience (Fritz 18 years guiding, Sandy 30 years guiding, Ciro 26 years on the river. And they are all under 40!!)

Blue Star Camps is proud to have teamed up with Blue Heron Whitewater to provided our 9-11 year old campers with a high quality rafting experience on the French Broad River. We have worked with Sandy, Fritz and Ciro for many many years when they were over at NOC and when they established Blue Heron it was easy to see that they had built the most experienced team of guides on the French Broad if not on all the rivers in WNC. Over 500 of our campers enjoyed Blue Heron's excellent rafting adventures in 2008 and we hope to make it an annual tradition! Experience, training and attention to detail matter most when selecting a rafting outfitter for your family or group. Blue Heron is tops in every way and we are very proud to partner with them.
