OCOEE RAFTING TRIP

 

MONDAY, JULY 13TH | 7 AM - 5 PM

Join us as we brave the elements and the Ocoee River on a rafting trip you'll never forget. The cost is $40 and includes lunch. We only have 25 spots for students and 5 spots for leaders, so please sign up fast before Thursday, July 9th!

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

We are rafting on the middle section of the Ocoee River. It is America’s favorite stretch of whitewater with some of the wettest and wildest action around! This section is great for beginners or the experienced with over 20+ continuous class III & IV rapids in a 5-mile run. Starting just below the Ocoee Dam No. 2, we’ll encounter our first big rapid, Grumpy’s, then Broken Nose, Roller Coaster, Table Saw, Hell’s Hole and so much more!
