Collectively, Ceiba is dedicated to giving you the best service possible for your trip of a lifetime. We don’t just send you downstream with our equipment. We send our spirit of adventure along with you. There are so many dedicated people (and dogs) that contribute to our success here at Ceiba. Everyone wears a lot of hats – thus we don’t have specific “job titles”. We all have our own individual skills, assets, worries, joys, achilles heels, stories, etc. Collectively, we’re dedicated to giving you the best service possible for your trip of a lifetime. We don’t just send you downstream with our equipment. We send our spirit of adventure along with you. This is why it’s fun to come to work every day! The Ceiba crew went on a short river trip from Diamond Creek to Pearce Ferry in Grand Canyon in early February 2025. The weather was perfect. “What did today mean to you?” was one of the questions asked of each of the Ceiba crew on this rare chance to get away from work on a river trip together. That question ended up becoming the heart of this short film. At Ceiba, we work hard. We keep our heads down, get things done, and often move through our days with headphones on, focused on our own piece of the bigger picture. It’s rare that we all get to step away from that rhythm and share time together — not just after hours, but on the river, over multiple days, in the kind of setting we usually send others off to enjoy. We got to share a ton of laughs; some beautiful, quiet moments; some spicy rapids; and a few small surprises. We got to live the kind of experience we work so hard to provide for other people. That’s not nothing — that’s a gift that was given to us by Rachel and Scott. This short film tries to capture a little of that — not just the action, but the feeling of it all. Grand Canyon brings people together. The Ceiba crew helps make that happen. It was really nice that we got to bring a little of that magic to each other for once.

All the more reason for us to go big! Last year (2021) was the first event and the sled was designed, engineered and fabricated at the last minute on the morning of the event.
