Welcome To The Northwest Whitewater Association!
You're hooked into the official web site of the Northwest Whitewater Association. We are a whitewater rafting club based in Spokane, Washington. Our goal is to promote whitewater boating, safety, and conservation. We've been around since 1989 helping unite river runners across the region.
Northwest Whitewater Association members are private recreational boaters that share a common interest in floating the great rivers of the Inland Pacific Northwest. JOIN US! Your 25 bucks annual dues gets you involved in floats and events on and for the local rivers, prizes and entertainment galore, and of course our entertaining and informative newsletter, The NWA News!
NWA meetings are generally held every 1st Wednesday of the month at the world famous Jack & Dan's Bar and Grille – voted one of America's Top-10 sports bars by Sports Illustrated. J & D's is at the corner of Hamlton and Sharp in Spokane.

Thanks for making thr 19th annual Fools Float a FUN day on the river!!!
An original "Fool" Bob Rockser (co-founder of this craziness) catches a wave at the Bowl & Pitcher. |
After the 2011 float set the bar for the LOWEST temperature EVER for all Fools Floats, about 5 degrees, the 2012 edition was much improved. |

| Introducing Peak 7 Adventures |
Peak 7 Adventures is a grassroots outdoor adventure non-profit organization aimed at taking young people into the wilderness to show them the wonder of God's creation. Wilderness adventures challenge participants to expand their horizons by fostering trust relationships and team building skills.
Peak 7 targets youth who are underprivileged or have been labeled "at-risk". We provide a positive alternative to the typical behaviors and habits that youth in our society often fall into.
Peak 7 whitewater rafting and kayaking, rock climbing and backpacking trips challenge these youth physically, mentally, and spiritually; encouraging them to evaluate what they put their faith in. These once-in-a-lifetime opportunities have an immeasurable impact on the participants and promote all-around healthier lifestyles.
Most individuals in our targeted population cannot afford the cost. We therefore rely on individual and corporate contributions to subsidize these trips. If you would like to partner with us in this endeavor, please go to www.peak7.org. Thanks for joining the team. |
