Middle Fork American Scouts Trip: May 17, 2009
Feedback from the 2nd Annual rafting trip for a Scouts group from Oakley, CA.
Diana,
Camp Lotus is perfect for the Troop. The boys and adults had a blast. The Rafting experience gets better each year and the whole trip was just about a 10.
My group went on the Middle Fork with Lou and Kyle. Lou was a great leader in the fact this was a Boy Scout Trip and definately had safety first. Lou took 3 of the youngers scouts and our Troop Chairwoman Lori Scheer. He was absolutely Perfect with there raft and I would say he should be given a medal for What he did with that raft. His crew was the less aggressive Raft.
Kyle had the Aggressive Raft and knew how to keep us in check. I am 42 years old and the 3 boys in my raft were 17, 17 and 15. No matter what we said Kyle always came up with the reasons why we can’t do this and that. He was Awesome with that Raft and did things with the Raft that I didn’t even know was possible. He made our trip a complete success. Safety is unreal with your Rafting company and I know Troop 152 will stay with your company for as long as we raft. Kyle used Safety all through the trip and I am one of those guys that likes to live on the edge and he always explained it short and simple why we could not do things. He is a huge asset to your company.
I know our troop will do this again next year and I may be in charge one more time. We are talking about doing South Fork, Middle Fork and North Fork. We will stay at Camp Lotus again and the travel from there to Middle Fork is no problem. North Fork no matter how far is no problem either.
Thanks Again
