The men's ministry is planning an overnight canoe trip down a 20 mile segment of Peace River February 27-28. Please register here, and if you're bringing your son, please register both of you when you sign up.

We'll be launching at 8am from Zolfo Springs Pioneer Park.

The river will be fairly shallow (depending on rainfall) with a mild current. Canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards will traverse the river well. Small jonboats can also work, but expect shallow areas that may require creative maneuvering. This stretch of the river is almost untouched from the way God created it. We will enjoy miles of easy paddling through gorgeous old Florida, and see quite a few big alligators. The pace is easy, and there will be opportunities for fishing and swimming. We will launch at 8 am, paddle approximately ⅔ of the way until mid-afternoon, and make camp and relax. In the morning we will cook breakfast, have a devotional, complete the final third of the trip, and take out at Gardner by mid-afternoon on the 2nd day. Shuttles will bring us back to our vehicles up river.

What to bring: We will provide lunch and dinner on day 1, and breakfast and lunch on day 2. You’ll need to bring your own equipment, but let Richard know if you need help finding any of the following:

-Canoe/kayak, paddle, cushion
-Tent, sleeping bag, pillow
-Water, snacks, other drinks
-Shoes (very important to wear shoes as glass in the river could cut your feet)
-Change of clothes, light jacket, rainjacket, pocketknife, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, flashlight, matches, towel…and Bible. 
-Fishing gear (optional)
