Fun in the Snow!

On Sunday, January 12th we will be going tubing at Snowstar for the VOA meeting. The tubing will start at 1pm with the meeting starting at 2:30-3pm. Once we're done tubing we will be having our regular VOA meeting in the lodge at Snowstar.

If you’ve never been to Snowstar it is the premiere skiing and tubing park in the area. The tubing requires no special skills or equipment, just an interest in mass amounts of fun. If we get fifteen people we will get the group rate so make sure to get your crew involved. This a good way to recruit for your crew, if someone is interested in Venturing make sure to invite them and let them see how much fun we have! The cost for the tubing as a group be $18. We need to know by Jan 5 if you are coming!
