LPAC Raft Trip Information

Raft trip Saturday, July 2, 2022

If you have fireworks and are planning to stay, please bring some to share at dark. 

Jennie’s cell number is 408-896-1517.

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.  

• Jennie Anderson 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 post on Remind. 

• 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!

Dear Penguins and Parents:

The Raft Trip is tomorrow! Most of you have turned in your waivers. Thank you! If you have not turned in your waiver, please bring it with you to Knights Ferry.
