Note: If water levels are too low on this river to float
our boats, then we may change our float to another river location
(such as the James River). If you are unable to travel to this new
location, then refunds will be issued.
Adults will only
be accepted if spaces available are not filled by girls, and only with
paddling experience. Please let us know on registration if you will be
bringing your own boat and PFD; this is encouraged if you are more
comfortable in your own gear. All adults participating must be
registered Girl Scouts and background checked. There is a 275 lb.
weight limitation recognized for kayaks.
