Ripper 3 is a river float, camp out, pond swim, bbq, party. This is our third annual and we couldn’t be more excited to host you all!

If you’ve been with us the last two years, you’ll know the drill. Ripper 3 is being hosted at Camp Murphy. The lovely property that Anna grew up on.

4950 West Soda Rock Lane, Healdsburg, CA 95448

We will have camp open for everyone to arrive on Friday. Come anytime and set up your camp down on the lawn. We will have the Kabota ready to rock to transport any gear down there. If you are bringing your vehicle to sleep in we will guide you down to the lawn.

If you are coming just for the float, please arrive by 10:00am on Saturday 8/23.

Friday | 08/22 — Come anytime in the afternoon and set up camp. We will be hanging out all evening, grilling some simple food and enjoying the summer eve.

Saturday | 08/23 — It’s float day! If you are not camping Friday night, please arrive to Camp Murphy by 10:00am. We will be getting loaded up and shuttled to the put in by 12:00pm. It takes awhile to get everyone situated and tubes all inflated/transported. We will likely have multiple shuttles taking people down to our put in spot, so we will need to budget time for that.

After the float we will hike back to Camp Murphy and spend the rest of the day enjoying the pond. We will fire up the slip n slide and continue the good times.

We will likely be doing pizza for dinner, so please let us know in your RSVP if you have any dietary restrictions.

Sunday | 08/24 — It’s Anna’s birthday and probably time for most people to head out, but don’t worry if you’d like to stay through Monday, you are more than welcome to! No one is getting kicked out if they want to hang back for a relaxing celebration.

If you know us, then you know we love friends. Always happy for new faces to join, but please don’t go too crazy with the additional invites and give us a heads up if you’re planning to bring more than two people. Also have any additional friends RSVP. Much appreciated!

Floaters

Bring your swimwear, sunscreen, water bottle, and tube if you already have your own. Dry bags are also encouraged for any items you care about. If your tube is already at Camp Murphy please indicate so on the RSVP.

Campers

Bring your tent, sleeping bag, pad, warm clothes, cold clothes, and any other camp necessities you like to travel with.

Last year we did our best to purchase all that we could for everyone. If you were a lucky attendee of RR2, then your tube is still there with your name on it. Please indicate so on your RSVP.

If this is your first year, we unfortunately won’t be able to purchase tubes for you, so please provide your own. We have had great success with the River Run tubes that can be purchased in advance on Amazon, or picked up at Ace Hardware in Healdsburg. They run about $30ish. Come by 10:00am or earlier on Saturday to make sure your tube gets pumped up!

For those staying all weekend we are asking $70/per person. This will cover the cost of all drinks and meals.

For the people just coming on Saturday to float we are asking $40/per person to cover drinks and food.

But I don’t wanna pay…

That’s totally cool! Please BYOB and BYOF.

Once you have RSVP’d please Venmo @chesspettengill

As the date gets closer we will definitely need a hand coordinating some aspects. Either grabbing ice, grilling food, or getting all the tubes ready and transported. Reach out to us if you know already how you want to help, otherwise we will contact some of y’all to delegate. <3

Anytime before 8/15 would be greatly appreciated, but don’t worry we won’t turn anyone away even if you forget until the last minute. The sooner we know the better we can plan.
