This week: Ben

If there’s an adventure to be had, chances are Ben is already there 🌊🏔️

When summer rolls around, you’ll find him chasing rapids on the Ocoee River. When winter hits, he’s off chasing fresh powder in Taos, New Mexico. Whether it’s whitewater, mountains, or a campfire shared with good friends and family, Ben is always most at home outdoors.

Now in his third season as a river guide, Ben brings a calm confidence, love for adventure, and appreciation for the experiences that make life memorable. For him, every trip is about more than just the rapids—it’s about the stories, the people, and the moments you’ll be talking about long after the river ride is over.

If you're looking for a guide who lives for adventure and loves helping others create their own, Ben’s your guy.

This week: Kailey

If you end up in Kailey’s raft, prepare to leave with whitewater memories and at least 12 new facts about plants, wildlife, and conservation 🌿🌊

For the outdoors lovers, the trail wanderers, and the folks who like to stop and appreciate the little things—Kailey’s your guide. With a passion for conservation and a love for all things nature, every trip feels like an adventure mixed with the world’s most entertaining outdoor history lesson.

When she’s not on the Ocoee River, you’ll probably find her backpacking, climbing (mediocrely, according to her), ice skating surprisingly well, snowboarding questionably, or chasing another outdoor adventure.

And if you hear her talking about Ruth’s golden aster… admire it from a distance 😂

Whether you’re here for the rapids, the scenery, or just someone who genuinely loves sharing the outdoors with others, Kailey brings an unforgettable energy to every trip.

This week: Cameron

Whether you want an unforgettable ride, local river history, a conservation talk, or just someone who knows how to keep the raft upright through the chaos… Camero’s your man.

If you’re looking for a guide with country charm, river stories for days, and nearly two decades of experience on the Ocoee River… Camero’s your guy 🤠🌊

Born and raised on Sand Mountain in Alabama, his whitewater journey started early—really early. At just 10 years old, he got “busted” trying to sneak onto a commercial rafting trip, and it’s been all river life ever since.

By 2004, he was back chasing rapids in a kayak, learning firsthand that Table Saw is one spot you definitely don’t want to go swimming 😅

Now with 17 years of Ocoee experience under his belt, Camero brings the perfect mix of adventure, knowledge, and laid-back Southern personality to every trip. And when he’s not in full “Camero Mode” navigating rapids and swapping wild river stories, he’s known as Cameron—the agriculture teacher helping shape the next generation of students.

Whether you want an unforgettable ride, local river history, bright conservation, or just someone who knows how to keep the raft upright through the chaos… Camero’s your man.

This Week: Casey

Some people find whitewater… and for Casey, it became home!

Her journey started with an unexpected inspiration—her mom deciding to learn kayaking at 60 years old. Over a decade later, Casey is still chasing rivers, adventure, and the feeling that first made her fall in love with the outdoors.

After spending years exploring the Chattooga River, she found her forever home on the Ocoee River with OAC, where she’s now in her 5th year of guiding.

Whether she’s rafting, sailing, skiing, or wakeboarding, life on the water has always been part of who she is—and now she’s passing that love on to her daughter, Elie, and every guest who steps into her raft.

If you’re looking for a guide who brings adventure, positivity, and a genuine love for the river to every trip… Casey’s your girl 💙
