Boathouse Opening Postponed!
Dang! The riverbank is still too unstable to install the boat dock, so we can't open this Holiday weekend. We are hoping to open June 1-2, so stay tuned!

Youth and Family Adventure Race goes GRAND
Yep, Sunday was cool, breezy, and rainy. Some wondered if GUP would cancel its 6th Annual Youth and Family Adventure Race. Ha! ADVENTURE is our middle name! And that's not just hype--15 intrepid teams showed up, with 36 kids and youth ready for adventure. Heck, two teams registered that day! They finished wet, and cold, and muddy, but with smiles and a unique sense of accomplishment. And for the Ground UP Adventures Board, and our gang of committed voluteers, that made all the work of organizing the event worth it.
Boathouse 2017 Season Over
Ground UP Adventures' Boathouse on the Red has officially closed for the 2017 Season. Thanks to all who made this summer a fantastic success! On sunny weekends the talk of the town was about all those bright colored paddle boats out on the Red. It was great to see families and youth out getting exercise, enjoying the Red River as a valuable community resouce, and experiencing nature right here in town.
We ended the season with a GREAT Youth and Family Adventure Race on Sept. 24. Getting wet and have fun!
