Itinerary

We plan to meet up at 10:00 am and aim to have the shuttle set by 10:30 am. We anticipate being off the water around 3:00 pm and fully packed up by 3:30 pm.
 
During the trip, we will be paddling a local Class II river to continue building our skills and strengthening our community.
 
Approximately halfway through the run, we can pull over. This will be a good opportunity for anyone who wishes to swap boats, grab water, and address any questions that may have come up during the first half of the paddle.
 

Previous experience required.
