Whitewater Express • Copper Hill, TN
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Cabin at Ocoee Camp
- White-Water Rafting on the Ocoee River for Two
- Choice of Horseback Riding, Paintball, or Treetop Ropes Course for Two
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay or Larger Group of Travelers
The Destination
Situated just north of Georgia, the tiny town of Copperhill, Tennessee, is any outdoorsman's dream. With three of the region's best white-water rivers nearby, plus hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails in the Cherokee National Forest, it's a wonder only 500 residents call Copperhill home throughout the year. Then again, who can complain?
The Digs
Leave the tents at home: With Whitewater Express, you and a companion will spend two nights in a deluxe cabin at Ocoee Camp. While each cabin features a different design, they are all new, fashioned from native logs, and within walking distance of organized activities. Accommodations have kitchens, private bathrooms, double and queen-size beds, and flat-screen TVs—and Whitewater Express supplies DVDs and Blu-ray discs for unwinding after active days out in the wilderness.
The Diversions
Included with the stay is your choice of the following outdoor adventures: horseback riding, paintball, or a treetop ropes course. You'll also be going on a guided white-water rafting trip down the Ocoee River, which will really get your adrenaline pumping. In your spare time, you can hike the dense forests of the Cherokee National Forest on the Tanasi or Chilhowee Trail System. Each evening, you can tell stories around your own campfire, make some s'mores, and simply relax. Then, pen a postcard to Mom and Dad letting them know how much fun you've had—this is one Escape you'll want to write home about.
"There are few places in the country where average Joes and Janes can play Olympian for a day, but Tennessee's Ocoee River is one of them. The river virtually guarantees a good time, making it one of the Southeast's premier whitewater runs."-- National Geographic Adventure

'SNL' Season 39: Fred Armisen Confirms Series Exit, Is Jason Sudeikis Next?
By the end of this year's 'SNL' season finale (which was hosted by 'Argo' director Ben Affleck), it was obvious that series veteran Bill Hader would be depart the series. But while it's still unknown if fellow veteran Jason Sudeikis will also be saying goodbye, it's now clear that Fred Armisen's final tribute performance was meant to confirm the 'Portlandia' star's 'SNL' exit.

Zilber Hall's inspiring sacred space

There is something intrinsically beautiful and wholly refreshing about sacred space. Amid the crazy realities of life, these peaceful havens invite individuals to retreat, reflect and rejuvenate. Marquette has several of these spaces on campus, the newest of which is on the second floor of Zilber Hall. The Madonna della Strada Chapel, named in honor of the first Jesuit church in Rome, affords Marquette community members a quiet, intimate space inside one of the university's most active buildings.
"Jesuit schools like Marquette that encourage faith, depth and imagination are compelled to create campuses that speak in their physicality about Christ's mission," said Dr. Stephanie Russell, vice president for the Office of Mission and Ministry, at the September 27th chapel blessing.
Helping to invoke that spirit of inspiration are four glass panels imprinted with illustrations from The St. John's Bible. (Marquette acquired a rare modern-day manuscript of The St. John's Bible: Heritage Edition in 2011. It is exhibited in Raynor Memorial Libraries.) Colorful depictions of the Creation story, the Word made Flesh, the Suffering Servant and the Resurrected Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene illuminate the chapel. Each one stands nearly 6 feet tall and serves as the chapel's main visual draw.
"As you visit the space, sit with the vibrant colors and dynamic brush strokes," encouraged President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., at the blessing. "Let these great images … capture your imagination and draw you more deeply into the life of God."
With the addition of this sacred space, Marquette reaffirms its commitment to the university's broader mission. "It's a statement of our Catholic, Jesuit identity that says prayer, worship, meditation and trying to engage the holy in some way is important to our mission," says Timothy Johnston, assistant director of liturgical programs. "By providing space to do that, I think we encourage and invite those who work at Marquette to really engage that piece of the mission in whatever faith tradition they want."
