The beauty of a private excursion with 37 North is the totally hands-free itinerary planning - customized to your group's preferences and skill levels - which allows you to simply set the date and enjoy the adventure. 

    As the group arrives at the prepared campsite, you'll have time to unwind from the day's paddle with a refreshing swim, lawn games, cold beverages, and a campfire dinner provided by 37 North. This overnight camping experience is designed to enhance your experience with the outdoors - from the excitement of a guided Buffalo National River float and hike, to the lulling campfire and serene star-flecked sky, your group will end this experience feel invigorated and empowered.
