Canoe Trip

Please bring in your permission slips. From last Friday we decided to spend some of the fundraiser money to defray the costs of the trip and we've found canoes (cutting down on rentals) AT MOST it will be $22 though we have plenty raised from equal exchange sales.

Permission slips from Harris in room 314

General plan YESS Club Canoe Trip 31 May to 1 June 2008:
Start 9 AM Saturday: Meet between 8:30 and 9 at Vaughn St. put in for the Nemasket. A shuttle car will take the tents and camp bags to the KOA. The group will paddle down the Nemasket (taking to portages – keep the packing LIGHT). Stop for the night just beyond Oliver Mill park (Mattuck) at the KOA.

After camping for the evening, we will have a decent breakfast, pack and put in by around 9:30. We’ll canoe on the flat-water stretches of the Nemasket into the Taunton and paddle to early afternoon pick-up in Taunton. We’ll aim to be at the take out between 1:30 to 2. We’ll unpack and parents will pick you up there at 2.
