The following items are really important for the rafter to have a
safe and pleasant trip. This is a wilderness experience, so
students need to be properly prepared. I have had every kind of
weather on this trip, since we go in late May: blistering hot, all
day rain, and 50 degreee temperatures. The water is cold no matter
what the weather because it is May ( black fly season also). I have
included the web site for the rafting company under "links".
Seniors need to be at the high school by 11:15 with all their gear.
IF YOU CANCEL AFTER THE DEADLINE YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DEPOSIT. THIS IS
THE POLICY OF NEOC.
If you cannot go the day of the trip you need to call the high school
so we do not sit in the bus waiting for you.
