The New River Adventure program was the brainchild of Jeff Peters and his Scout Executive Dan Clifton. The concept was to offer a high adventure program that would keep scouts coming back to camp long after they exhausted base camp experiences. The hook of the program was the whitewater rafting trip in the New River Gorge of West Virginia. Class V whitewater drew scouts from all over the eastern seaboard. The Alumni of the program still gather every Memorial Day weekend to meet the newest recruits to the whitewater raft guide training program that helps to keep this program going strong.
