Wedding Bells at ACO
 Back in the mid 1980’s, if you happened to paddle with us at Letchworth State Park you may remember passing a little boy riding a red and yellow plastic truck up and down the sidewalk in front of the pool house. His name; Arthur Kretschmer, elder son of long-time river guide and current owner Kevin Kretschmer and his lovely wife Krista.
As time passed, that little fellow went from trying to stay out of everyone’s way, to riding along in the rafts and canoes with his dad or any of the other guides that would let him, to paddling his own kayak on the river and being a company gopher, then finally a recognized river guide upon turning 18.
 These past few seasons he has taken on more responsibilities within the company and now does whatever is needed to help keep the operation humming along. At various times he can be found performing preventative maintenance on the trucks, patching a leaky raft, running the Site Office, or driving one of the buses. He even manages to guide a raft down the river every once in a while!
In spite of a hectic schedule that included going to college and working two jobs, he found a special young lady that made his heart skip a beat whenever she smiled at him or would hold his hand. Their love grew over time and on Valentine’s Day in 2007 he proposed and she accepted. On June 20th of this year Arthur Kretschmer and Amanda King will become husband and wife. Everyone here at “Adventure Calls” wishes Art and Mandy a joyous and blessed life together.
News of Note:
Please be sure to read the section “Is This For Me,”
on the Helpful Hints page. It is better to find out ahead of time
perhaps you shouldn’t
participate and be slightly disappointed than to go on a trip and
be miserable.
Our Letchworth State Park Rafting Site Office will be closed on the following dates; 06/20, 07/18, 07/19, 08/01, & 08/02. On Saturday, 06/20/09 there will be no rafting in the park so the guide staff may attend Art & Mandy’s wedding. The four other dates listed are Salmon River Release Days and all of our equipment and staff will be needed at the Pulaski, NY Site to ensure the best possible experience for the guests paddling with us there.
Unlike many of our competitors, we did not raise our prices over the winter. We remain committed to keeping your adventure with us as affordable as possible. You also will not find any hidden costs associated with our trips, such as participant insurance fees.
GPS Coordinates for each of our rafting locations have been added to the “Find Us” page of our website.
