Rendezvous

The 2012 Annual Benscreek Canoe Club Whitewater Rendezvous will be held on May 18, 19 and 20 at Greenhouse Park, Johnstown, PA. We will have a guaranteed release from Quemahoning Reservoir for this year’s rendezvous unless the river is naturally high.  The release for the Rendezvous will be on FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.    FRIDAY RELEASE WILL BEGIN AT 11 AM, AND HIT THE CANYON AT 2 PM.   YOU MUST BE ON THE CANYON BY 6 PM.    Saturday/Sunday release will be a normal release beginning at 7 AM and hitting the canyon put-in by 10 am.

We are still planning for this year’s Rendezvous.  But we should, again, have a downriver race  on Friday evening.  And on Saturday we will be having a flatwater race, a wild (as usual) Boater-X race and a Whitewater Rodeo.

Throughout the weekend we will have ongoing play in our Whitewater Park; opportunities to paddle the Stony Canyon on releases from the Quemahoning Reservoir (and other local rivers if Mother Nature is kind); music; boating vendors on hand to replace any broken gear; and food vendors to fuel our guests.

COSTS : (tentative)
Festival Entrance for the entire weekend : $10.00 Per person

Camping for entire weekend : $10.00 Per person

The site is open to camping.  Dogs were welcome (but please clean up after your friends).  And we would like to thank our campers for being great guests.  You help make our event a great success.
