We will set up climbing and rappelling stations and help your group do these adventures while they also swim in the warm spring pool, hike along the Santa Clara River, sunbathe, relax, and hunt for crawdads in the river. There is a food stand at the pool or you can bring your own food. Overnight camping is also available at Veyo campground which has smaller and larger/group campsites.
