Join BMA on a magical overnight paddling trip to a pristine island situated near St. Louis in our Great Rivers Confluence Reach. This is designed to be an instructional trip in which participants will learn how to plan, prep and execute multi-day canoe or kayak camping trips. Not only will you have a great time on one of our classic overnight excursions, you’ll leave with the confidence to do it on your own next time! And just in time for beautiful fall weather, our favorite season for camping!

We will be exploring and paddling 30 river miles of the great Missouri River from St. Charles to Columbia Bottoms at the Confluence. You will have the opportunity to learn paddling and camping techniques from our experienced guiding staff. A wonderful menu will be prepared and meal preparation will be a team effort with instruction and assistance by our gourmet river chef.
