Participants are invited to camp Friday and Saturday nights at the Green River Ranch (suggested donation: $20 to be given when you arrive to camp), and take part in a community raffle to help fund future Green Riverkeeper cleanup efforts. While this event centers the experiences of women in whitewater, it welcomes all genders who support the mission of getting more women on the river.
