Dear Church Family,
Here is a note from Josh Leonor about the upcoming white water rafting trip:
June is right around the corner and with it comes the church white water rafting outing to West Virginia. This will be a unique experience and one not soon forgotten. Both the New River and the Gauley River are some of the most popular whitewater rafting spots in America.
For our trip we will be venturing down the Lower New River Gorge. The day will be filled with fun and yes…lots of water. The trip itself will be through Ace Adventure Resort. (To see amazing photos and video of what will be experienced, feel free to check out their website at www.aceraft.com)
The video and photos on the site boast of the powerful class III-V rapids which we will encounter during our river ride. Throughout the day we will have time to stop and swim in calmer areas and even boulder jump for those more adventurous. Lunch is included in the package and vegetarian options are provided at this lunch.
The Plan:
Our plan is to leave at approx. 8 am on the morning of June 20th. Our mode of transportation will be by car. If anyone would be willing to drive please let me know. (This is not set in stone. If renting a van seems more logical we may do that, once the number of participants is known.)Â Mid-day we will stop for worship and eat our sack lunches and then continue on. The trip is about 9.5 hours plus the time difference we should get to the Holiday Inn in town at around 8pm. Sunday our trip will start in the morning and last about 7 hours. After which we will jump in the cars and head home arriving late in the night. We hope that many of you will be able to make it since there will be no need to take off a weekday.
The trip will run approx. $160 per person (Assuming 4 people/room & 5 people/car, not incl. tax).
This includes:
River Trip – Adult $95, Youth $85
Holiday Inn – $119/night
Gas – $25/person
+ Food
(To fit the life vest a minimum chest size of 24 inches is required. Also a minimum height of 56 inches is required for safety reasons.)
There are as many rafts available for as many would like to go on this trip. A payment date of May 10th is required so that we can reserve our spot on the river. If you are interested in going on this adventure or would like to know more please let me know . God Bless and have a happy week.
