Slides\, trampolines\, a ninja-style obstacle run\, and a whole lot of wipeouts. Bring your crew. \n\nWhenSat\, Aug 15\nSplash Time2:00 PM\nWhereHarpers Ferry\nCost$45\n\n\n \n\nHere’s the Day\nWe ride out together\, splash for a 90-minute session\, then dry off and eat before we head home. Simple\, soaked\, and a lot of fun. \n\n\n01 \nWe Leave Together\nMeet at the church mid-morning and carpool out (about 1 hour 15 minutes). Parking at the quarry is tight\, so riding together is the plan. \n\n\n02 \n90 Minutes of Splash\nCheck in at 1:15\, safety briefing\, then a full session on the inflatables: slides\, trampolines\, swings\, and the obstacle course. \n\n\n03 \nFood After\nWe provide lunch and water once you’re out of the water and dried off. Come hungry. \n\n\n \n\nOne Important Thing: You Have to Be Able to Swim\nThis is open quarry water\, so every splasher must be comfortable swimming and at least 45 inches tall (age 10 and up is our group). Everyone wears a life jacket the whole time and lifeguards are all around the course\, but strong swimming still matters. If you’re not a confident swimmer\, come as a cheerleader from the beach and let us know on the form. \n\n\n \n\nGrab Your Spot\nSpots are limited and they go fast. Registration closes Monday\, August 10\, and we can’t add people after that\, so lock it in early. \n\n$45 / student\nCovers your splash session for the day. Need a hand with the cost? Reach out to Zander quietly\, we’ve got scholarship help and no student misses out over money. \n\nRegistration has closed for this event\nComplete River Riders Waiver\nEvery student needs this year’s waiver on file. One waiver covers all our events for the year. \n\n \n\n\nParents & Leaders: Join Us\nWe need a few adults to drive and be present for the day. You’re welcome to just drive\, hang out on the beach\, and enjoy the views\, or jump in and splash with us. Heads up: if you want to get on the inflatables\, the park charges a separate admission you’d cover yourself. Spectating from the beach is free. Let us know which below. \nRegistration has closed for this event\n\n\nQuestions? Text Zander.
