April Camp out – Red River Gorge: Via Ferrata

Greetings all,

For the April camp out we will be heading to Red River Gorge to do some climbing. But not just any rock climbing. We will be climbing horizontally via ferrata! To see what I’m talking about check out https://www.southeastmountainguides.com/experience/via-ferrata/

When: Apr 20-22
What: Rock climbing via ferrata
Where: Meeting at MSPC at 4:30pm
Forms due: Tuesday Apr 10th.

Drivers: We will need some parents to drive. It’s about a 3 hour drive so I encourage anyone willing to drive to stay and camp with us. We can supply a tent if you need one. If you are willing to drive, but don’t want to climb, cross out climbing on the adult portion of the signup and write in $0.

    To participate your Scout needs to turn in 3 things:

  1. Signed Troop permission slip
  2. Signed south-east waiver
  3. Photo copy of drivers license of the parent who signed the waiver (front only)

These folks are diligent with their paperwork and having the photocopy proves mom/dad signed it.
