Whitewater runs in the veins at Kumsheen Rafting Resort
(Troy Media) Braden Fandrich was just four years old when his father, Kumsheen Rafting Resort founder Bernie Fandrich, put him in a whitewater raft for the very first time.
It was prophetic, in a way. Braden would literally follow his father’s footsteps into the adventure tourism industry, as did his mother Lorna so many years before. So would his brother Andrew and, for a while, his sister Meghan.
What’s more, Andrew and Braden’s wives have worked at the resort, and their toddlers have now also made their way on to a whitewater raft.
Did Bernie know he was building a lifelong, three-generational business when he started Kumsheen with one raft and one van, beside the Thompson River, way back in 1973?
