Event Description: This is a great opportunity to sleep overnight in a cave, go exploring, and did we mention SLEEP OVERNIGHT in a cave? This will be a fun Troop outing to learn new things. Some of the cool things we'll get to do:
hour-long boat tour on America's longest underground river
hour-long guided exploration trip (will get muddy and maybe little wet) walking, climbing, and crawling through natural passages that normal tours don't get to see
educational session on caves and caving
stay overnight in cavern in bunks
even breakfast underground!
Cost for the underground overnight camping is $40 / person, plus food for the event. Fuel costs determined after event.
