| Dear Raft Trip Penguins, LPAC Raft Trip Information Raft trip Saturday, July 5, 2025 If you have fireworks and are planning to stay, please bring some to share at dark. Meet at 18210 Sonora Road, Knights Ferry, CA (1800 Covered Bridge Rd. according to apple maps). Please arrive early at 8:30, so we can walk down to launch at 9am. Turn in all raft trip waivers to the team folder prior to the trip. One waiver per person. Turn in forms to the “RAFT TRIP” folder before the end of practice Thursday. Or your family will have to sign waiver forms when you get to Sunshine Rafting. George Nijmeh will turn in all waivers and then receive wristbands. No waiver, no wristband. We are a group reservation so we need to all be present in order for our trip to begin. We can stop at Horseshoe park for lunch which is about halfway. When we get off the rafts we wait for shuttles to bring us back to the parking lot. Before heading home or into Oakdale for the night, many LPAC families like to stop at the Knights Ferry Creamery 17631 Sonora Rd, Knights Ferry, CA 95361 for a treat. https://www.facebook.com/knightsferrycreamery If you plan on staying in Oakdale for the night, I would like to suggest that we meet at dinner time at Backwoods Burgers – 1214 W F St, Oakdale, CA 95361 https://backwoodsburgers.com/ Backwoods Burgers has family style seating and we order at the counter so we don’t need to wait for a server. There are TV’s with sports and news and many LPAC families can be together. But there are many other delicious restaurants in Oakdale, feel free to explore. After dinner an ultimate frisbee game may be taking place for the high school group at Brennan Park on Pedersen Rd. The coaches or swimmer reps will be sending out reminders. Finally, at dark we meet for fireworks (if anyone was able to procure fireworks) on East Ave between the Motel 6 and Apostolic Assembly By- Faith. I’ll bring a bucket and lighters. Finally it’s lights out – Thank you for joining! GO LPAC! Contact George Nijmeh with any questions. 408-489-2416 |
