A Sunday at the Waterfalls
A Transitional Living Community for Adult Males Recovering from Alcohol and Drug Abuse
How do we cope with a hot and muggy Sunday afternoon at Next Step Recovery?
We take off our shirts, put on the sunscreen and head to the river!
Some of us cooled off with a nice relaxing float down the river…
Others did front flips off of a rope swing into the water. Nice form!
We all had some fun and got some sun.
And apparently all that paddling really builds up your biceps.
This past Saturday we took our second annual whitewater rafting trip. We owe a big thank you to Sue and Steven of Adventurous Fast Rivers Rafting for providing us with this experience again this year. A group of 18 residents, satff, and alumni were able to make the trip! The Nantahala River typically runs between 45 and 49 degrees, some of us fell in, all of us got wet. It rained pretty hard and the warm rain mixed with the cold water to make a thick fog over the river. It seemed much more intense than it really was, probably due to the fact that we could not see where we were going. Most of the people that “fell” in, were actually pushed in by their NSR brothers. We all had a great time!!
What a good looking group! Each one of these guys has a very different story, but they all share a common bond, working together to better their lives.
Thank you again Steve and Sue, we love the Nantahala and Adventurous Fast Rivers Rafting. We highly recommend everyone take a trip with these guys.
Last weekend several of our residents went on a backpacking/rockclimbing trip led by students of Montreat College’s Outdoor Education program. The trip was the culmination of several weeks of instruction and planning. Our thanks to Matt and Renee for all their hard work in making this happen. The guys had a great time, learned alot, and are all excited for the trips to come. Keep watching for more pics and updates on our Outdoor Adventure Program as well as other NSR events.
