Each Spring the
Sierra Club
provides volunteer judges to the
Missouri Whitewater Association
for the kayak and canoe slalom races through the rapids of
Millstream Gardens Conservation Area
on the
St. Francis River
near Fredericktown.
This year, the races will be held on Saturday, March 17 and Sunday, March 18. No experience is needed. Volunteers will be trained and paired with experienced judges for an up-close look at the action. Volunteers may come for one day or both.
See skilled boaters perform, enjoy a beautiful springtime setting, and share the weekend with fellow Sierrans. Call volunteer coordinators Jim Nyberg at (314) 725-0767, or George Behrens at (314) 821-0247 (after 6 pm only). Free car camping is provided in the nearby group camp at Silver Mines Rec Area on Friday and Saturday night. Call volunteer judging coordinator George Behrens at 314-821-0247.
