The fun stuff:
We've done this trip 16 years running now and we've had all kinds of people at all kinds of skill levels come out. This trip is fun for those that have never rafted before as it's fairly easy (we don't even have guides in each boat, they kayak along with us, since it's not very dangerous) but it's still fun for those that have been rafting because it's a chance to run your own boat and of course THERE ARE WATER BATTLES!!!

yes, there'll be LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of splashing. If you don't like to get splashed, don't come. seriously. you'll ruin the fun for the rest of us if you complain. (this has happened in the past and we're not dealing with it.) We're on the river...its water...its wet...you'll get wet. it happens. SMILE when it does!

Lunch is NOT provided-Bring your own Lunch! Keep lunch simple: sandwich, snack, bottle of something to drink (keep in mind that soda my get shaken up on the trip.) And keep it small, there's not a lot of room in the buckets we use to hold the lunches.

Bring: sunscreen, bottled water, water guns, waterproof cameras, water shoes or old sneakers (yes, you need to have something that ties to your feet, no flip flops), a towel and change of clothes for afterwards (they do have showers at the base camp). (towels do not go in the boat with us)

After rafting: Many of us will be camping and have food/drinks at our campsites, those not camping with us are invited to come back to the campsites with us to have some drinks and play some games - please BYO drinks/food though, unless you talk to someone beforehand that may share with you (don't come to the campsites expecting to be fed)
Carpooling is encouraged - feel free to post comments looking for or offering rides - when it gets closer I'll put a google sheet out there to help plan carpools

PLEASE NOTE: Everyone needs to turn in a waiver. Our check-in time is 9:00am, that is when I need to submit all the PAPER waiver forms. If YOU are not there on time, WE do not raft on time, and everyone waits - 100 don't wait for 1, we will leave without you and you may end up rafting with random people not in our group at a later time.Yes, if you're there much earlier than 9:00, you'll have time to kill waiting around - sorry about that, it's just the way it is and the way WWC does things. It's an early start but it helps avoid traffic coming from Philly and it gets us off the river early so we can enjoy the afternoon.

You can camp with us Friday, RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/its-better-outdoors/events/307791287
You can camp with us Saturday, RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/its-better-outdoors/events/307791325

RSVP for any/all events, but if you are camping too, you can send all payments together so if you raft and camp 1 night, send $97, if you raft and camp 2 nights, send $109

Paid status will be updated in the RSVP list next to your name
REFUNDS: 100% refundable for any reason until Jul 20, after Jul 20 you can only get a refund if someone takes your spot. NO REFUNDS AT ALL on Fri Aug 1 or Sat Aug 2. I'm sorry if your car breaks down, you wake up too hungover to raft or your grandmother dies on Saturday morning but you're still not getting a refund. I can't get a refund at that point so you can't get a refund.

As this gets closer we'll be sending some detailed emails to coordinate meeting up at the basecamp. It's important you're getting emails from ITS BETTER OUTDOORS about specific events you're signed up for.
