Whitewater Rafting - September 20-22
WHAT: Whitewater Rafting - on the Chattooga River (limited to the first 24 who sign-up). This year’s trip will offer the choice of two different sections of the Chattooga River. The first is section 3, which we have done the past few years, and also section 4 which is more challenging (a number of class 4 rapids). Scouts who are 9th grade and up (or 8th graders who have been rafting with the troop before) may sign up for section 4 if they choose. Rafters will be guided by certified instructors who have significant experience introducing Scouts to rafting. We will camp Friday and Saturday night at Chattooga Belle Farms. We will all be camping together about 1 mile from our vehicles, so all participants will pack gear in and set up camp in the single location to be used both Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday morning we will make the short 15-minute drive to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) on the Chattooga River.
WHO: All Scouts, Adult Leaders, and Parents
WHEN: (Charleston County Early Release Day 1:30 p.m.!) Depart Friday, September 20 at 3:30 pm from Christ Church’s gravel parking lot near the historic church.
