Join us for the 42nd annual Carey Berger Memorial Fundraiser!  TONS OF CAMPING THIS YEAR!!!   Check it out….    Camping opens August 6th and checkout is August 10th at NOON. Some people will boat on Friday, but the real fun begins on Saturday morning – obtain your cards and build your prize-winning hands as you float the river with your friends. Hands are obtained via donation of $5 each. Card Station #1 is at the put in where you can get more information and receive your hands. Stations #2-5 are along the river in different eddies and beaches. Pay attention, stations come up fast!! At the end of the day (7pm), we have a great potluck and pass out the prizes to winners.

This year we will be running Marblemount to Rockport, the class II Section of the Skagit.

Stations generally launch between 9-930am. Most floaters launch from 0930-1130am. The sweep boat launches between 1130-noon.

There is no planned lunch at station 3 this year so make sure to bring your own.

Potluck and prizes are at 7pm!! This is a game of skill. If you miss the prizes or a station you will play a hand short!!!

This is always a great family event. The camp will be busy, we ask that you help us accommodate all campers by sharing and not reserving camps. If you have a camper or RV, please make sure you are prepared to share tent sites next to where you camp.

There is free camping for WRRR members ($10 donation for non-members) at lower Goodell Creek group camp and is separated into two parts. The upper and lower loops A & B. Please keep noise down after 10pm. Please make sure coolers are locked in a vehicle or bear box. Coolers have been confiscated in the past if left out. No potable water is available at camp.

Fire ban in effect:

Effective Monday, June 29, campfires or the ignition of wood, briquettes, or any fuel in fire pits, fire pans, and barbeque grills, are banned in all portions of North Cascades National Park Service Complex. This applies to anything that produces ash, including charcoal grills. Propane fire pits are not allowed during the ban. Gas or propane stoves, grills, or lanterns are permitted in campgrounds for the use of cooking if there is no flammable material within three feet of the device. These stoves must be equipped with an on-off switch or valve capable of immediately extinguishing the flame. Extreme caution is urged with any open flame.

Carey Berger had cerebral palsy, and it didn’t stop him from enjoying whitewater events. Carey was one of the original trip leaders of this event in 1985.
