Join VSDC: Whitewater Rafting & Dinner at Kelley Farm Kitchen, Harpers Ferry
Saturday, October 31, 2026, 11:30 AM EDT
Held at Potoma Wayside Park, Jefferson Pike, Purcellville, WV
Hosted by Veg Society of DC
Join VSDC and friends for our last scheduled rafting trip of the year, taking place in beautiful Historic Harpers Ferry!
This will be a spectacular autumn trip, featuring stunning fall colors along the river corridor, a different river route, and the option for Halloween attire.
The weather is expected to be quite pleasant, and we will have insulating layers available for everyone.
Led by Jeff Cogle of Appalachian Guidance, our journey combines class II/III whitewater, wildlife viewing, river education, rejuvenating movement, and an optional post-rafting dinner at Kelley Farm Kitchen.
Friends & full body care: We’ll start with a meet and greet and an easy full-body warm-up. This will include gentle yoga and/or qi gong techniques designed for optimal spinal movement and relaxed breathing.
Rafting Fun: We’ll then shuttle together to where we will first embark on a popular class II/III section that is upstream from Washington DC, and meanders through beautiful Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
Optional Dinner at Kelley Farm Kitchen: Kelley Farm Kitchen (aka KFK) was named Yelp’s #1 restaurant in the country in 2021! At KFK, we will arrive approximately 5pm and each attendee will order from KFK’s normal menu and pay the restaurant directly, based on what is ordered. Check out their big menu!
Cost & Registration: The price of this event is $108 (discounted from Appalachian Guidance’s standard $149 price). Payment must be made to Appalachian Guidance directly: https://www.appalachianguidance.com/plant-powered-adventure
IMPORTANT: Note that RSVPing here does not guarantee a spot on a raft. You must contact Appalachian Guidance directly using the link provided above. Space is very limited, so please make your reservation as soon as possible.
Once you register, there will be a follow-up email sent with basic event details as well as a standard ACA waiver. Completing the waiver in advance will save some time (and paper).
