End of Summer Update
Our next adventure was to
be a White Water Rafting Trip on the
plans and have an
all-day, fun-filled adventure at CamelBeach.
The river guide company we
were partnering with indicated that the Youth Group rate would be $30 per
person for a 4-hour excursion that included a picnic lunch; however when we
received the final contract, the price skyrocketed to $63.65 per person, no
lunch provided. Their explanation was the $30 package is only good
weekdays & since we wanted to go on a Saturday, we had to pay the regular
Saturday rates.
While we're disappointed
for all of us that we're not going down the river,
we can't justify paying
such a high cost to do so.
We will we have plenty of
fun at CamelBeach...& we're asking all of you to join us
from 10 am - closing (meet
in front of the sales windows)
on Saturday, August 21st
at a much-more reasonable
price of $21 per person.
Please RSVP by
Wednesday, August 18th if you plan on attending
& let us know if you
will be using a pass or you need a ticket!
