Prospective Student San Juan River Trip Set for October 11-18

Join us on The Upper San Juan River – October 11th through October 18th, 2025!

Prospective students are invited to join us for the Prescott College river trip led by Adventure Education faculty emeritus, Julie Munro, and current students and alumni. Before our trip, you’ll have time to tour the Prescott College campus, stay in our residence halls, and meet faculty, staff, and students. Then you will travel north to spend three nights and four days rafting down the stunningly beautiful San Juan River in the desert canyons of Southeastern, Utah.

This trip will be lead guided by Julie Munro, Prescott College Faculty Emeritus, in addition to student guides Jaden Best and Julia Bricker.

Julie Munro is Faculty Emeritus at Prescott College. Julie served as a full-time Adventure Education Faculty for 35 years and still collaborates with the college on special projects. She is intimately familiar with the San Juan River and its natural history and loves sharing this environment with students across disciplines. In addition to loving outdoor pursuits and time in wild places, Julie enjoys teaching yoga and bringing that practice to the group experience.

Jaden Best is from Denver, Colorado and in her third year at Prescott College. She is pursuing a double major as a B.A. in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies. She works as a professional river guide in the summer.

Julia Bricker is a senior at Prescott College, studying Social Justice Education with a minor in Adventure Education at Prescott College because she is passionate about connecting people to the natural world while working toward more equitable, student-centered education. So many systems prioritize statistics over real human needs, and she wants to help shift that.
