Raft the Mokelumne River with O.A.R.S. to Benefit the Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program Sunday, June 16, 2013
Angels Camp, CA... Visitors and residents can enjoy a relaxing and memorable rafting experience on the 2013 Mokelumne River Rafting Adventure, Sunday, June 16, 2013 (Father’s Day). Local rafting company O.A.R.S. has secured a Special-Use Permit to raft a gorgeous, mostly gentle, six-mile stretch of the Mokelumne River as a thank-you gift to community members who donate $70 per person to the Calaveras Mentoring Foundation....
Trips depart from Mokelumne Hill at 8am, noon, and 4pm. Seating is limited and available by advance reservation only. For more information and reservations, the public should call the Calaveras Mentoring Foundation at (209) 736-7706. (Please leave a message with your name, phone number and desired trip time and the number of people in your party, and your call will be returned as soon as possible.)
The trip is appropriate for ages 7 and up and swimming ability is not required. Located near Jackson, this stretch of river is considered Class II-III and features several long, peaceful pools with a bit of excitement – two class III rapids, the Chute and the S-Turn – near the end.
O.A.R.S. sets itself apart from other adventure companies by providing the most knowledgeable, passionate, entertaining guides in the business; top-of-the-line, rigorously maintained equipment; and the largest number and most geographically diverse rafting trips in the West. This is the tenth year that O.A.R.S. has donated this special day of rafting to support youth mentoring in our community.
The Calaveras Mentoring Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising public awareness and support of the Calaveras Youth Mentoring Program, which connects Calaveras County young people in 1st through 12th grades with safe, positive adult role models who offer support, guidance and friendship and help the youth make healthy life decisions.
