rafting 2008
 

We would like to invite any youth (grades 6-12) and their parents to participate in our back to school rafting event August 6-8th 2009.

We have pictures from 2006 and 2008 for your enjoyment. And two special video montages from 2008, select here for Cat III trip and here for Cat IV trip.

It looks like $100 each will cover the rafting and expenses.  There will be scholarships for those that cannot afford it.

Please sign up for the rafting trip as early as possible by sending Jim Arnette an email  or give him a written note with all that are going in your party and what camping gear your have.  Having an accurate head count will help in planning.

We will leave at 8:00 am on THURSDAY, August 6th!  Please be there 30 minutes early. That means for those of you that like to show up late ....Plan to be at the church at 7:00am :-)

The Lord has provided an enclosed trailer for equipment storage.  I suggest Use backpacks or small duffel bags for your clothes.

Bring enough money for meal on the way up and back.  Bring your own snacks.
