White Water Rafting
Intense! Challenging! Exciting! You'll be saying all those
things after your day trip to the New River Gorge in West Virginia.
The Gorge is often called the Grand Canyon of the East, and
for good reason. During the seven mile journey from Cunard to
Fayette Station, your group will surf the rapids, leap off Jump
Rock, and plunge through 19 major Class 3, 4, and 5 rapids.
The trip finishes with a cookout 876 feet beneath the longest
arch bridge in the western hemisphere. Our staff provides transportation
(3 hours each way), meals, raft guides, and all the equipment
necessary to have an exciting day on the river. The trip will
stop both ways at a rest stop, so you may wish to bring some
cash for snacks.

White Water Canoeing
Grab your swimsuit and sunscreen and get ready for a day of fun
as your group canoes the New River through Giles County, Virginia.
Participants in this program will hone their paddling skills as
they shoot Class 2 and 3 rapids, perform boat rescues, and learn
how to better read the rapids. There will also be plenty of time
to swim the waters and just enjoy this scenic section of the New
River. |

Caving
Those selecting the Caving option will spend a day exploring
one of the many limestone caves located throughout the New River
Valley. Be prepared to get muddy as you experience total darkness,
learn about cave formation and practice low impact caving techniques. |
|
Climbing
Located next to the COPE Course is our 50 foot tall, state of
the art sport-climbing tower. Groups will spend the entire day
learning proper climbing and rappelling techniques. This program
entails a pretty intense day of training, but your group will
leave with a much greater knowledge base and comfort level with
climbing. |
Natural Rock Climbing in the New River
Gorge
If you like the feel of a climbing harness, the cool touch
of natural rock, and the taste of sweat as adrenalin
pumps through your system, then this is the program for you.
Scouts who choose this option learn basic mountaineering skills
on the “Endless Wall” in the New River Gorge in
West Virginia. Participants will spend one night in our outpost
in West Virginia. The crew will eat out for dinner and have
the opportunity to purchase
snacks so bring $15–20. Venturers should complete all
but requirement 9 of the Ranger Mountaineering elective and
a large portion of the COPE elective.

The Following are not Allowed:
a. Fireworks

of tobacco products by anyone under the age of 18 is illegal in Virginia.
Leaders, we ask that you refrain from smoking in front of the Scouts.
d. With the exception of working dogs, no pets are allowed on the Reservation.
e. Knives must fold and are not to exceed four inches in length
f. No personal firearms except those brought for shooting sports merit
badges. These arms must be secured in the range house during your stay.

i. We recommend that all electrical devices such as radios or video
games be left at home or secured in a vehicle.
