RIVER RUSH. Fast. Fearless. Fun.



River Rush Weekend Camping Packages

Craving some COOL summer fun? Get in on the action this August 6, 7 & 8 when the serene setting of Crysler Park Marina on the St. Lawrence River near Morrisburg morphs into a riverside playground during an ALL-NEW RIVER RUSH event! Kicking off Friday night will be a live performance by country rock band Ridin' Shotgun at the Marina’s Marker 72 Dockside Patio. This weekend event promises to play out with tons of thrills, spills, music and fun for all ages!

Highlighting the weekend are professional, high-energy acts including a dazzling Saturday afternoon competition-style Extreme Trampoline Show, where professional and fearless athletes will perform airborne tricks and turns on skis and boards! Sunday afternoon picks up speed with a high-adrenaline ProStunt BMX / In-Line / Skateboard Show by the Krusher Stunt Team from Montreal, who play to amaze on an enormous ¼ pipe!

Throughout the weekend, you can test your own endurance on a Rock Climbing Wall, or check your ability to stay upright as you take on an opponent in a Sumo Wrestling Match! Catch the action of Racing Remote Control Cars and Boats as the Marina plays host to the Cornwall Remote Control Clubs annual tournament! Sign up for the Family Fishing Derby, swing into action on our Closest to the Pin contest, or shoot it out in our Disc Golf Tournament. Even some canine friends will be joining the fun, as the Airborne Disc Dog Club of Ottawa put on special performances audiences of all ages will love (guest dogs are invited to learn a trick or two as well!).

Get in sync with the beat of a daily “Junkyard Jam” show on both Saturday and Sunday, performed by the Junkyard Symphony, who specialize in making music with recycled objects! Be amazed with the circus-style antics and magic of Dr. Kaboom! Rise to the challenge of our Kid’s Games, including a Wii gaming centre, Jacob’s Ladder agility game, Frog Jump coordination game and more! Learn about the wild side of life with special presentations by Little Ray’s Reptiles and Endangered Species Show on Saturday.

Summer sun means sizzling fun! Cool off with a slippery ride down our giant inflatable slide! Take to the water on our new stand-up paddle boards (the latest hot trend), paddle boats, canoes and kayaks! Re-energize yourself with some fresh-squeezed lemonade or kettle corn at our snack booth, or chill out over a lunch or dinner special at the Marker 72 Dockside Patio, featuring live entertainment by "Ridin' Shotgun" on Friday evening, easy rock band Sultans of Gin throughout the day on Saturday and piped music provided by the Krusher Stunt Team before their show on Saturday.
