Please join us for white water rafting for labor day weekend! We will have a early start on Saturday because it is a 5 hour drive and check in is 7 a.m. It will be a two night stay, and we will be going back home on Monday.
One member has booked a cabin that generally fits 12. Males and females will be staying in this cabin. Total for 12 people is $1181.28. If you defiantly know you will be going and would like to stay in this cabin, please let me know as soon as possible. She already has 8 people staying with her.
I called New England Outdoors today. They only have one 4 person cabin tent available. Another option is the two person cabin tent which they have 23 available right now. You can also bring your own tent, but it is 5 min. drive away from where Chen will be staying. The same thing goes for the cabin tents and bunkhouses. Also, you can book your own cabin if you prefer to be more comfortable. They are booking up fast for the holiday weekend. Northern Outdoors is a different campsite which is 3 hours away.
Be sure to bring your camp gear. Sneakers, bathing suits, bug spray, sleepings bags, sunblock, candles( if allowed), extra pillows, sheets, air mattresses, food for camp fire and BBQ etc.
The cabins have a kitchen so we also cook.
Please check out the website for further info. I will find out where everyone should generally park.
It is a 5 1/2 hour drive from Boston. Please coordinate carpooling.
The World is Our Playground, the Boston Volunteers, and Social Fun and The Girls Just Want to Havve Fun groups will be joining us.
Please don't hesitate to e-mail with any further questions. I will be away for the next couple of weeks, but will be checking my e-mail periodically.
This is a great time to introduce yourselves to coordinate cabins and carpooling together!
Hello all,
We will be having a meet up tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Prudential Center Food Court to discuss the whitewater rafting trip on Sept. 4th. Come meet the other members of the groups and arrange carpooling. You can reach me at 617-955-1062.
Please bring payment for lodging. The cost is $104.50 pp to stay at the Premium cabin (holds 16 people and 2 bathrooms) OR $98.44 pp at the large cabin (holds 12 people and 1 bathroom). Thanks. See you tomorrow.
You will have such an amazing time. I wish I was up for the drive, but I will be spending time with my family Labor day weekend and then going hang gliding in NH. Chen double check if there is cell signal in the area. Remember when we went to Forks in May...no-one had cell coverage (it was for all network, they don't have cell towers in Forks ME, not sure about where you are going).
*****There are only 10 spots left in the cabin. We need at least a deposit to ensure your spot! The cost for lodging is $98.44. We will have another meet and greet meet up to finalize arrangements for the trip on Tuesday, August 17th @ 6 p.m. at the Prudential Center Food Court. Payment for lodging can not be refunded so please be sure you will be attending. Looking forward to a funfilled weekend!!
Hello all! Whitewater rafting needs to be booked asap! It is getting really booked up for that busy weekend. I need to send in a list of all the rafters. Also when booking please state you will be rafting with meetup group name as well as my name. Please e-mail me to tell me you will be rafting. Thanks. Also, don't forget about the meet up tomorrow to discuss the rafting trip.
Hello all! I just wanted to remind you of the meet and greet tonight for the whitewater rafting trip. Prudential Center Food Court @ 6 p.m. See you tonight!
Sorry to post again, but I just want to make sure everyone knows that rafting will be on Sunday, September 5th.
Lodging is first come first serve. We have several yes RSVP's, but the only way to guarantee a spot is to give us a deposit which is nonrefundable. You can also mail a check to Chen so please contact her or you can meet up with her or me to provide your deposit. We can't hold spots for maybe RSVP's. Also, if you do not book your rafting asap, you may not be able to raft. If spots fill up in the cabin, you can book a tent, cabin tent, etc if still available for this busy weekend.
ONLY 5 SPOTS LEFT in the cabin!!! Please act quickly. Rafting needs to be booked today as well! Please use reference#12329 to book your rafting, mention my name and what group you are part of. If they give you a different reference #, please let me know. Rafting is booked thru Northern Outdoors- tel: 1-800-765-7238. Once you book, contact me with the reference number, your telephone number and please be sure to give me your last name. I need to make a list of all rafters to keep us all together.
Hello all!
We will be having our final meet and greet meet up to discuss all the details of the upcoming whitewater rafting trip that you should know on Saturday, August 28 @ 6 p.m. We will be at the Prudential Center Food Court near Pizzeria Regina. Meet the other members attending the trip from the other meet up groups. Also, if you haven't already arranged carpooling this would be a good way to do so. We can also get some dinner/drinks, etc. after the meet up.
See you soon!
To help facilitate who is bringing what, Andy has created a google doc spreadsheet listing items in one column and the name of the person/s bringing the item. Please send me your gmail address if you want to view, edit, add items to bring on the trip.
We are also using this same doc for the carpool assignment/ list. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm forwarding this comment for Lauren. She is a member of another group. Breaking news: So apparently I booked a whole cabin tent to myself for Saturday night as well as an entire bunkhouse (wooden cabin, no electricity) for Sunday night at the POC. Does anyone need a place to stay?
Also, I still haven't confirmed my ride. If you have any space in your car for me, please send me a message. Thanks!
