White Water Rafting on the Ocoee River.

by: SGT Jeanette Capistran

On Saturday September 12^th The JROTC cadets had an amazing adventure at the Ocoee River, where they went white water rafting. Over forty cadets were present and prepared for a long day of excitement. There were about an approximation of 12 cadets who fell out of the raft, but as a team they all worked together and got back on their raft. The trip on the Ocoee River consisted of 5 miles, going through level 3 and 4 rapids. After getting wet, the cadet’s headed up to a nice picnic area, where some volunteered to cook hamburgers and hotdogs while the other cadets played volleyball and soccer. The cadets were divided into different class periods and competed against one another, but in the end everyone was a winner.
