A "Knock it off" was called due to high risk of flooding (ANY member can call and "Knock it off" when they feel an situation has or is about to become unsafe, thus requiring review of the activity and reassessment of the safety)

After review of the situation myself and with the added uncertainty of having a van available for evacuation 100% of the time, I must concur with Captain Boan's call.
1) Very little training will be accomplished due to the high probability of Thunderstorms
2) The park, being subject to flooding, has a likelihood of becoming unsafe and evacuation of cadet Saturday evening or night will become necessary.
The Risks therefore outweigh the benefits.
Safety is priority!
BOTTOM LINE: The camping Trip has been canceled.
