Why:  To have outdoor fun with your neighbors and make new friends.  Those who have gone in the past have had a blast, and this year should be no exception!

How: We will travel to Sunburst Adventures, the oldest rafting company on the Ocoee River.  No prior experience is needed! Here we will be prepped on safety, fitted for equipment, and assigned rafting guides. Bring complete change of clothing and wear tennis shoes in your raft.  No sandals or flipflops in the rafts.  You will get WET!
