"Hi Norm...we just got back and we are telling everyone we know what a great time we had. I appreciate the extra attention that we got from you, and the entire staff was great. My son Ethan is looking forward to going to guide camp. He seems real serious about this. I have not seen him this excited over anything other than a girl for quite a while. We look forward to doing the Merced next year. Thanks again for the unforgettable experience." Best wishes, G. Klein

"Dear WWE, Me, my husband, and 4 friends had the greatest experience this past weekend on the South and Middle Forks on Sat & Sun, July 2-3, with Jim as our guide! We truly were lucky to have Jim and really enjoyed how informative and personable he was. We appreciated both the technical aspect of how he explained the rapids, as well as all his stories (and yes, even his groaner jokes) and his strive to get to know us better when we know he meets hundreds of people during the season."
"The food was excellent and all the personal touches and help each of the staff put in really made a difference We'll continue to refer all our friends and family to your company (and Jim)! Thank you again for such a great weekend; it certainly was a memorable one. " Sincerely, K. Hankins Human Resources Manager, HomeTown Financial Services, Inc., Escondido, CA

"I led a trip of my youth group members down the middle fork of the American River. The guide for my raft was Brando, and this guy was incredible. He did a superb job of navigating us down the river, he told jokes, kept us laughing and having a good time, and went a long way towards making the trip a success. Two of my girls were a little bit before the trip left, but he kept checking in with them, kept them laughing, and they ended up having the time of their lives! Thanks a bunch WWE!"T. Butler; Youth Pastor: Walnut Creek Church of Christ
