Medical Release Form

We will be floating the Jacks Fork River out of Harvey’s Circle B Campground in Eminence, MO.  Jacks Fork and the Current Rivers are very similar and close together but the floats on Jacks Fork seemed to be better for our group.  If you want to check out the information on the web try www.currentrivercanoe.com.

The float we will be taking is the Alley Spring to Two Rivers float.  They will take us up river 5 miles from the campground.  We will float back to the campground and have some lunch.  We will then continue another 9 miles after lunch.  If anyone wants to stop after the 5 mile float they said that would be no problem.  We just need to turn in your canoe.

This is a 7-8 hour 14 mile float trip.  We will be leaving the campground to begin the float at 8-9 AM Friday morning.  Ladies - the guys will make fun of you if you’re not ready.  Or will it be the guys who can't be ready on time...

Bible                                                   Sun screen
Sleeping bag/bedding/pillow           Towels/soap/shampoo
