About Us
American Packrafting Association was founded in October of 2012 by a group of avid packrafters from across the United States interested in safety, education, conservation, and ensuring that packrafting has a place on America’s public lands. We have no home office or employees, but APA is a registered unincorporated non-profit in the State of Wyoming. Our all-volunteer Board and Executive Council operate and collaborate virtually from locations throughout North America. We need your input and support. Please become a member.
Send us an email at info@packraft.org and let us know if you would like us to mail you one or more of our rack card flyers or stickers!
