Area 4 Whitewater Rafting Fun Event Everyone has seen the thrilling images of bright blue boats blasting through foaming river rapids or the gravity defying zip line canopy tours. On May 9-11th, Area 4 wants you to experience those high adventures. We are giving Venturers from across the region a chance to get in the boat on the New River or hook on to a zip line over the gorge. Venturers who have gone white water rafting or zip lining before can confirm that it is an awesome and unique experience. There is nothing quite like the adrenaline rush from hurtling a rapid or zipping over the tops of trees. The Area 4 Venturing Officers Association wants people to come and experience the New River Gorge so much that we have made the price a steal. If you choose to go white water rafting it is only going to cost you $110! If you choose to go zip lining it is only $95! To sweeten the deal, the Area officers decided to appeal to crew advisors and presidents. We will do all the work! If you or your crew wants to come all you need to do is get there and we’ll handle the rest! White water rafting and zip lining is not all this fun filled weekend has to offer. If you choose to attend you will get easy registration, a nice and comfortable tent camp ground, a great opportunity to meet new Venturers from across the Area and maybe even Region, a chance to be a part of the largest capture the flag game in Area 4 history, down time to play games or socialize, great evening program, a cool Area 4 event t-shirt and one awesome answer to the question: “what are you doing this weekend?” Online registration begins soon so check out our event page to get all the details! If you have experience in leadership and want to volunteer as staff, the Area 4 Officers need some help that weekend. You would not miss out on any of the program and you will get a staff t-shirt as well as gratitude from all of the Area 4 Officers. I don’t want any of you to miss out on this great event! I am so excited to see all of you this May! ~ Henry Gunther
