This year’s father and son river trip will be whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River.  We’ll depart from the Church at 7:30 AM Saturday, June 9; drive to the whitewater outfitter and spend Saturday rafting down the river.  When we’re done, we’ll set up our campsite; camp overnight and go home Sunday, June 10.

$85 per person is due May 21.  Bring lunch for Saturday and come dressed for the river.  Dads are encouraged to come, but Scouts are welcome without dads.

IMPORTANT:  All Adults and Scouts that will be participating in water activities must have a completed waiver and permission form prior to the event.

The rafting waivers are available on the rafting outfitter’s website:  Waiver Form

The Troop Permission Form can be found here:
