Eastern Missouri Group
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 Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22. 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. Please contact Outings Leader Michael Dee by phone (314-605-3546) or email (mdee@jburroughs.org) if you would like to volunteer and to get additional details. Free car camping is provided in the nearby group camp at Silver Mines Recreation Area on Friday and Saturday night.
A complete description of the event and maps are both available on the Missouri Whitewater Association website (missouriwhitewater.org/competition/mwc/).
