*There is the potential of a few afternoon opportunites as well as trips to the trout ponds when you are sitting out. This will be dependant upon chaperone availability and afternoon breakout options.
**You can arrange to swap boats during any scheduled fishing trip. This must be confirmed with the captains and agreed upon amongst all individuals. Remember Kody always catches more fish than Mr. Winsor.
***If you desire to not attend a trip a game of "rock, paper, sissors" (best of three) amongst the two individuals sitting out will determine your replacement.
