PROGRAM: Tent
camping in the group camping area. We will do some site seeing of the park in
the morning and then at 2:00pm we will go whitewater rafting down the river
gorge. This is a 2 1/2 hr beginner raft trip with Class I & II whitewater
down through the Letchworth Gorge with experienced guides. This is a fun trip
for beginners and has no age limit. You do not need any experience to go on
this trip as long as you are comfortably in the water and realize that the raft
may tip over and dump you into the river. If this happens you just get back in
the raft and continue in all the fun. I have done this trip several times and
it is very scenic down through the gorge along with some fun rapids and if the
weather is nice there is a spot to body surf and a big hole to jump into. Keep
in mind you could choose to just go camping and not go on the raft trip
providing we have appropriate adult supervision. All persons will be required
to fill out a waiver form for the raft trip.

prepared for all weather, sunny weather, cool weather , liquid sunshine or
snow. Bring extra dry clothes in case we get
