Description:

The August Campout will be devoted to river rafting down the Upper Colorado River in scenic Glenwood Canyon. The rafting will include Class II and III rapids (no Class IV and V rapids). Since we will be staying on private land, our campout will also include a conservation project to help the landowner which will be completed on Saturday afternoon.

We will meet at the church at 4:00 pm Friday, and return around noon on Sunday.
