I’ve lined up a natural caving trip (not a tour cave) for the Science Club on Saturday 12/9 11/18 (2 slots @ 9:30 AM and 1 PM). The caving trip complements our Fall study of the aquifer and water cycle. This is an unforgettable hands-on experience for kids to actually go into the acquifer. Parents are encouraged, but not required for kids 3rd grade and up (parents must go with 1st & 2nd graders). I will go with both groups.
We’ve can only take 30 people (15 per group) and I’m expecting that we’ll have a waiting list when I open this up to the whole school. Please reply to this post or email me to get on the list. It will be strictly first come/first serve.
This is a unique chance to go into nearby Whirlpool Cave near Slaughter and Rt 1. Whirlpool is a natural cave so there are no trails, lights, or commercial interests. We’ll actually be crawling around inside the cave and will get muddy. The cave is managed by the Barton Spring / Edwards Aquifer Conservation District for environmental education.
They use this cave for education and it is a perfect introductory cave for non-cavers. They have even led blind groups into the cave. The caving equipment rental is $10. I’ll be collecting the fee and signed caving_release.pdf forms starting immediately.

Please register us for two cavers, Leah and Lynne or Wes Hook.
This looks like a great event. Put us down for the afternoon time at 1 p.m. Thanks, Lynne Hook
If you have extra slots at that time, we could use 3 for the family, instead of 2.

Please register the Brinkers for FOUR cavers at 1p: Sally, Jeff, Jeremy and Abigail. Thanks again for all you do for the kids!

Put Calvin and Ray down for whirlpool caving trip.
I’m claustrophobic, can they go without parents?
