White Water Rafting Outing
White Water Rafting during a drought??
Absolutely!! Thanks to water contracts, water MUST be released into the American River. Join a Wolverine Patrol sponsored outing of two nights camping and a fantastic 11 mile rafting trip (Class III) on the lower gorge of the American River.
As the river flows through the heart of Gold Country, it includes rapids which are challenging yet not extreme. This trip starts off with a mellow warm-up, great for swimming, relaxing, and bonding with our fellow Scouts. By the time we’ve learned to paddle together, the river enters the Gorge; here, the rapids become more exciting, with big waves and holes which thrill novice and experienced rafters alike.
This outing requires that all youth and adults have completed the BSA swimmer classification test within the last 12 months. An opportunity to meet this requirement will be provided prior to the outing.
Please review all the details listed on the Permission Slip.
Participants will need to return ALL of the Whitewater Voyages Release forms along with permission slip and payment by Tuesday, May 13, 2014.
