kayaks and canoes on a trip down the river! camping out that night.
2 days, 1 night of river fun
Camping at the Landis River campsite!
Please find a kayak or canoe (along with life vest and oars.) A few extras are available through Jim for those who don't have any access.
Remember that each "boat" needs a whistle (i have a few extras if you don't), an oar per person, and a life-vest per person. (check with Jim ahead of time if you need these.)
We are using non-State launches. This means that boats will not have to be registered.
Times: we leave CMF Monday morning at 9am, so be there before that to load gear up in youth trailer. (Canoes and Kayaks need to be at church by Sunday Evening 6pm so we can get them loaded and strapped down ahead of time.) We campout at Landis's riverlot Monday night. We eat breakfast Tuesday morning, pack up our gear and get back on the water. We plan to arrive at the pull out location in Montgomery around 230. We hope to be back to CMF on Tuesday by somewhere around 3:30pm.
Please message Jim by SATURDAY @8pm if you plan to attend so he can arrange logistics.
There is NO cost to you for this trip. Food will be provided for supper Monday, breakfast Tuesday, and a packed lunch for Tuesday. (You need to pack your own lunch for Monday)
Boat Drop off: your boat needs dropped off by 6pm Sunday so we can load them up. Kayaks can be dropped beside the shed, in the shed, or in the enclosed youth trailer (its unlocked). Don't forget your oars, lifevest as well. It is highly recommended that you have your name of your gear using sharpie or tape.
To bring: Pack your night bag with all your gear, sleep bag, pillow, clothes, flashlight, etc that you need for the campout portion of our trip. This gear will get delivered to our campsite so you don't have to carry it in your canoe. river float bag: WATER. Monday, you will need to pack your own lunch to eat on the early part of our journey. We provide all meals & drink starting Monday evening at the campsite. Lunch, drink and snacks early Monday is up to you. Water shoes are strongly suggested but not required. We usually swim lot during the float down river. So, wear swim stuff. Sunscreen (we will have some). Cell phone waterproof case if you are bringing this on your canoe. towel, snorkel, fishing gear are all possibilities.
