Give me a call

Is anybody going just for the day on Saturday who would have space for me?

Whoever gets there first, please reserve our spot, as in put up your tent in the Campers Meadow, which is the quiet yet close by place to camp and near showers too (see map). Only way to reserve that spot.

Prices are:

Camping and takeout: $16.50 per overnight/day
Meals: All at the Pavilion (see map)
Breakfast: $12 booked when arriving for overnight camping
Lunch: $15
Supper: $22 (vegetarian option if booked ahead of time)

You can still bring and make your own meals at the campgrounds if you don't want to eat at the pavilion.

Firewood will be provided by the club:)

Fireworks are not permitted:(

Shuttle is $10 per person, if you want to leave your car at the campground.

I may only make it for Saturday morning and stay overnight (I have to make arrangements for pet sitting for the weekend:)...

There will be some safety games, drills organized by Larry and prizes donated by Trailhead Paddle Shack!

Should be a great weekend! I might even be able to paddle by then!

We'll be there on Saturday but won't be camping overnight.

Cheers,

I'm in for the weekend too, and looking for a ride if anyone has room for me.

I'd be very happy to go up on Friday afternoon or evening (in time to do some park and play?), but Saturday morning would be fine too. 

And I'll be camping, and paddling Saturday and Sunday, as my ride might allow.

Thanks,
Peter

I'm in from early Saturday morning till ETD Sunday arvy. I'll "camp" in my Forester SUV again, blow-up mattress in the back & large scenic sunroof if it rains & thunderstorms like at Beast Feast last August. Not being a camper, I'll buy a la carte meals and bring my own fancy beers   :D

BTW, my Turbo XT tuned by Chris of Tonik Motors, won the "Sleeper" cup at the Subaru Show & Shine at Trackwerks today. The "Sleeper" is not because of my occasional comfy camping mattress, but because my SUV looks innocuous yet measured a high 300 pounds-feet of torque on a Subaru Club dyno-test of 13 WRXes, STis & Legacy XT Turbos.

Sorry to be a buzz-killer, but before this goes any further, I'm going to have to bow out. That weekend's just unrealistic what with Hope Volleyball and several things that need my attention here in town. I'll have to wait until the next event :/

Hope you guys have a blast!

Where do we RSVP? If it's here, I'm definitely in for Saturday night camping and paddling Sunday.

You've just responded Stefan! Can't you also come for the Saturday paddle too? It's nice to do the river twice, in case mishaps in the first run need to be corrected...

I will be retunrning home from my hometown and will try my best to show up Friday night, BTW.

I would love to, Christian, but I can't: I've already committed to Hope Volleyball on Saturday. Too bad I didn't know about this a week ago!

I will bring a telescope too. Fireworks? Interesting idea. Let's look at the budget, and at River Run policies...

Ottawa River Weekend July 12-14!
« Reply #1 on: July 02, 2013, 02:54:46 PM »
Our club's Ottawa River Weekend is happening on Friday July 12 to Sunday the 14!

This is a camping/paddling weekend on the Ottawa river. Some people arrive Friday evening and make it a three-day event. Camping is at 'Paddler's Meadow' at River Run Rafting. This club camping weekend does not involve a 'Feast' (that one takes place August 9-11), so bring your own food to cook at your camp site, or eat at River Run's outdoor restaurant--you can get a weekend meal plan or go a la carte. Saturday evening is when we have our bbq/cookout/bonfire (if permitted).

Groups can go down the Middle Channel, the Main Channel, park and play, level dependent of course, or spend the weekend practicing rolling and other techniques. Rinse and repeat the next day!

The Paddlers's Meadow at River Run is a quiet group camping section and is dog friendly. At the main camp there are also change rooms, hot showers, an outdoor covered restaurant great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, a small store, a bar with a pool table, entertainment at night with big group bonfire going on (or make a fire at your camp site)... Please RSVP so that we can reserve a Coureurs de Bois Only Camp Site.

Here is a link for directions to River Run: http://www.riverrunrafting.com/resources/directions/  and the link to the RR's Homepage with a description of amenities and prices: http://www.riverrunrafting.com/ 

When you arrive at River Run, just say that you are with the CdB. We will be calling them around July 6 and letting them know approximately how many CdB'ers will attend.

This is a relaxed, come and go as you like, event. Come and stay for as much of the weekend as you want. You can fit it in your plans any way you like, knowing that you have a CdB ?Camp de Base? at River Run with familiar and welcoming CdB faces to greet you, paddle the river with you and share stories with you around the camp fire in the evening. All weekend!

We hope you can all attend. Cheers!

--CdB Executive.
