Enjoy a day or two of relaxing, float on the upper Black River, filled with fun, camaraderie, relaxation, and solidarity! In support of our brothers who live a sober life-style, we ask that you observe this opportunity as an alcohol-free event.

We have several established “primitive” campsites (non-electric, potable water nearby, but not at site) at a well-maintained campground reserved for both Friday and Saturday nights— so please come camp with us one or both nights (if you need a tent, please let us know – we may be able to accommodate you)!

Even if you are not camping, we would love to have you join us on the float and/or for dinner afterward.

If you are not camping with us, please meet us at the campground at 9:00 am on Saturday morning, June 20, 2026.

Or, just come down and join us for dinner!
