The World Rafting Federation (WRF) recently joined the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA), marking a significant partnership in promoting physical activity worldwide. ISCA, a non-governmental organization, has been a leader in advocating for increased physical activity across various sectors, with a focus on inclusivity and community-driven sports initiatives. By joining ISCA, the WRF aligns itself with a global network dedicated to making physical activity accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Rafting, as a recreational sport, is incredibly popular, with an estimated 15 to 20 million participants globally each year. This makes it not only an exhilarating activity but also a significant contributor to global outdoor sports culture. The partnership between WRF and ISCA underscores the importance of rafting as a tool for promoting physical well-being and community engagement, especially as ISCA continues to push for wider participation in sports at all levels.

This collaboration is a testament to the power of rafting as more than just an adventure sport—it is a means to foster physical fitness, environmental stewardship, and social connections. As ISCA aims to empower more people to embrace physical activity as a fundamental right, rafting’s inclusion highlights its potential to attract and engage diverse populations across the globe​.
