CdB Ottawa river Weekend 2017
« Reply #1 on: July 07, 2017, 10:53:50 AM »
Our club's Ottawa River Weekend is happening on Friday July 14 to Sunday the 16!

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 in August), so bring your own food to cook at your camp site. 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!

We camp at the Paddlers's Meadow at River Run, a quiet group camping section and 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).

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 to let them know approximately how many members 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 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!

The plan is to meet at the campsite at River run at 11:00 on Saturday to arrange shuttle.  For carpooling, meet at the Eagleson Park'n'Ride at 9:30.

We hope you can all attend. Cheers!
