28th Annual Paper Boat Race

Each year, staff representatives from each Recreation Summer Camp (Tenderfoot, Little Walnut,

Walnut Creek Day Camp, Walnut Creek Sports Camp, Arts, Adventures & Academics, Specialized

Recreation Camp and the pool lifeguards) compete in a cardboard boat race across the lap pool.

Themed-boats are made of masking tape, cardboard, and white glue. Each boat is large enough

to carry a camp leader across the pool and back. Awards are given both to the race winner and

to the camp with the most creative theme. Campers from afternoon camps attend the race dur-

ing camp hours. Morning-only campers are encouraged to attend the event with their parents or

guardians to participate in the boat parade and support their counselors in the cheering section.
