Zach's Bachelor Party

Here We Go
Again

Zach's doing this whole marriage thing again — so naturally, we're sending him off again. Camping under the stars. Running whitewater rapids through America's newest National Park. No Wi-Fi. No wedding planning. Just the boys and the wilderness.

The Mission
Three Days.
One More Adventure.
Zach's getting married — again — so we're doing what any good crew does. Sending him into the woods for one more weekend of zero responsibilities, cold beers, and campfire stories. Because apparently he didn't learn the first time.

🏕️

Camp

Tent camping, fire pits, and stargazing. Real camping — not glamping. The way Zach would want it.

🛶

Raft

Whitewater rafting through Class I-III rapids on the New River. Real rapids, real adrenaline — plus coolers and cold ones at the calm stretches.

🔥

Send-Off

Campfire nights, cold ones, stories about Zach's worst decisions (including marriage #1), and maybe a few surprises. What happens in New River Gorge stays in New River Gorge.

Rafting on river

New River

Class I-III rapids. Real whitewater through the gorge.

On the Water
Run the Rapids
Whitewater rafting through the New River Gorge — Class I-III rapids with real drops and wave trains. Don't worry — if Zach goes overboard, we'll get it on video.
📍

Friday Evening Float

Short 1-2 hour shakeout run after camp setup. Easy Class I stretch to get on the water and ease into the weekend.

📍

Saturday Whitewater Rafting

The main event: guided whitewater through the gorge with Class II-III rapids. All gear and guides provided. This is the real deal.

🎣

Sunday Morning Float

Easy 1-2 hour duckie run on calm water. Self-guided, $35-45/person. Soak up the last stretch before heading home.

The Damage
Cost Per Head
Estimated cost breakdown per person. A proper send-off doesn't have to break the bank — the groom's share gets split among the crew. He's already cost us one bachelor party, so let's keep this one cheap.
💡

Groom Rides Free

Tradition says we cover Zach. Larger group = lower per-person cost. With 6+ guys splitting everything, this is cheaper than a night downtown.

You In?

Zach liked marriage so much he's doing it twice. Camp sites book fast — we need headcount to lock in reservations and split costs. Don't be the guy who missed this.
