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.

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.
