The weekend of May 14-15 will be the opening of whitewater fun at the Adventure Sports Center International (ASCI) atop Marsh Mountain in McHenry. To kick off the summer, ASCI is offering guided rafting for $25 per person, which includes a two-hour whitewater experience in a six-person raft with a professional guide, safety equipment, and instruction. Participants will also learn about other adventure opportunities at ASCI, including climbing and rappelling, geocaching, and mountain biking.
The opening weekend will provide an opportunity for local residents and visitors to experience the course that will be used for the 2014 Canoe Slalom World Championships in 2014. Several athletes from the U.S. National and Junior teams, including Olympian Scott Parsons, will be practicing on the course on Saturday, May 14. Another Community Day with the reduced rate for whitewater rafting will be May 27, when a 4 p.m. sunset rafting event and bonfire will kick off the second annual All-American Whitewater Festival. Then beginning Wednesday, June 22, every Wednesday during the summer will be a Community Day. Reservations are required and can be made online at www.adventuresportscenter.com or by calling 301-387-3250. Guiding the raft in the above photo that features big smiles from rafting participants is local guide Bob Stephens.
