Bring Your Family Together

Our family retreats are all about slowing down, unplugging, and spending meaningful time together — without the constant pull of phones or outside distractions. These trips are designed to help you reconnect through laughter, adventure, and shared experiences in the beauty of nature. Whether you’re paddling down the river, exploring red rock canyons, or simply relaxing around the campfire, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime. Being outdoors together offers a natural reset — it brings clarity, calm, and connection in a way that few other experiences can. It’s a chance to step away from screens, tune back into each other, and remember just how good it feels to truly be present as a family.

Unplug From Your Devices And Focus On Each Other

Research consistently shows that spending time together as a family in nature — especially without phones or digital distractions — strengthens emotional bonds, improves communication, and boosts overall well-being. Studies from the University of Illinois and the American Psychological Association have found that families who engage in outdoor activities together report greater feelings of closeness, cooperation, and shared joy. Time in nature also helps regulate mood and reduces stress hormones, creating a calmer environment where genuine connection can thrive. When families unplug from technology, they’re more present with one another — leading to deeper conversations, more laughter, and a stronger sense of belonging. Simply put, being together outdoors isn’t just fun — it’s one of the healthiest ways to build lasting family connection.

  • Honestly there is no one more personal, capable, and fun as Zak. I would trust ZAK with my life (actually I already have multiple times). He has been running trips for years and there is no one that is more of an expert in this field than Zak. If you want to ensure that your friends and fam are going to have a safe, exciting time, the trust Zak... all those things are a guarantee when you are rolling with him.

Common Questions for Family Trips

  • What makes Get Outside Together so special?

    What makes us truly unique is that the rafting company we partner with is also run by our founder, Zak Hazlett, and his family. This creates an authentic “family” feel that you can sense the moment you arrive — the guides and staff aren’t just a team, they’re a close-knit group of family and friends who genuinely care about creating meaningful experiences. In an environment built around connection and healing, that sense of warmth and belonging makes all the difference.

  • Are there therapy sessions throughout the trip?

    No — while some of our trips may include facilitators who are therapists, these experiences are not therapy sessions. Our retreats are designed to be therapeutic, meaning they naturally support healing and growth through time in nature, meaningful conversation, and shared adventure. The combination of the environment, the activities, and the people you’re with creates space for reflection, connection, and renewal — without it being formal therapy.

  • What can we expect from the weather?

    Moab’s Canyon Country is known for its fantastic weather. In the spring and fall, daytime temperatures range from 60-80 degrees F, dropping to 30-50 degrees at night. Expect summer temperatures between 85 and 105 degrees during the day and 55-75 degrees at night. Rainstorms tend to be rare and short-lived in this area, but a light rain jacket may be handy for cool mornings or late afternoon showers. We recommend that you check the local weather before departing to see what is forecast during your trip. Always be prepared for the sun; wear sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin.

  • Why are these trips more expensive than an average rafting trip?

    Our trips are more expensive because they’re built with a level of care, intention, and quality that goes far beyond a typical rafting or outdoor experience. Each retreat is fully customized to the group — from the food and itinerary to the staff we bring and the activities we design. You’re not just joining a trip; you’re joining an experience created around connection, growth, and genuine presence.


    We keep our group sizes small to ensure a more personal and supportive environment, which means more guides, facilitators, and hands-on attention for every guest. The meals are chef-quality, the gear is top-tier, and the atmosphere is designed for comfort and depth — not crowds or cookie-cutter schedules.


    In short, you’re investing in a high-quality, all-inclusive experience that blends adventure, reflection, and community in a way that’s truly unique — and every detail is chosen to make sure it’s unforgettable.


  • How many people are on each trip?

    In general, each trip hosts around 24 guests. The exact number can vary depending on the type of experience and group dynamic. Some trips are smaller based on water levels and availability, but the depth of connection and reflection remains intact. We find that the larger group size helps create a fun, social atmosphere where you can meet new people and share the adventure together. Each trip description includes details about group size and overall vibe so you can choose the experience that feels right for you.

  • What are the toilet facilities like?

    The Restrooms are available at our office, all major boat launch sites, and BLM campgrounds. A portable toilet will be set up in camp for your comfort and convenience. For privacy, it will be secluded behind a large rock or clump of trees or set up inside a “John” tent. The toilet will be available each evening and morning and for emergencies during the day. Our guides are sensitive to the unique challenges women may encounter while traveling in a wilderness area. Please don’t hesitate to ask if there are questions concerning these issues. Many women find it helpful to wear a two-piece swimsuit and/or have a skirt or wrap-around sarong for privacy and convenience. Ziploc bags are handy for storage and disposal of feminine hygiene products.

  • What if I want to bring my own camping gear?

    We provide all the camping gear you’ll need for your trip — but you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Many guests who already have their own gear like to use it because it’s familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s your own tent, sleeping pad, bag, or camp chair, you can absolutely bring it along. Either way, we’ll make sure you’re fully equipped and ready for an incredible experience outdoors.

  • May we bring our own beverages and snacks?

    You’re welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks — we’ll have cooler space available to keep them cold during the trip. We recommend bringing canned beverages (they’re easier to pack out and better for the environment). To maintain the mindful and connected atmosphere we strive for, our trips are alcohol- and drug-free. This helps everyone stay present, clear-headed, and fully engaged in the adventure and the experience together.
