We have reserved a group camping area at the #1 at the Marsden Tract Campground. If anyone else would like to camp there, grab a spare spot and bring $5 per night to late registration Saturday morning at Old Angler's Inn (back patio).

With clinics and seven on-water events taking place this weekend it might be tough to find yours! Event locations should be listed along wiht the event description. If it is not and you're not sure where to show up for your competitor or participant meeting, ask at Check-in Saturday at the Great Falls tavern green at C&O Canal NHP (Great Falls, Maryland) and Sunday at the Great Falls, Virginia National Park lower lot. We will be there. Look for the American Whitewater Tent!
