Get ready to build, paddle and possibly sink in the most fun race of the summer! Gather your crew and see if your cardboard creation can conquer the water.

Design and build a person-powered boat made entirely of corrugated cardboard and race it across a 150-yard course. Will your boat sail to victory or earn a dramatic splashdown? The theme of the boats should be patriotic!

Boats must be made entirely of corrugated cardboard and propelled by oars, paddles, brooms or similar human-powered devices.

Bring your creativity, teamwork and a sense of humor — because whether you float or flop, it’s going to be a splash!

Ages: 4 years & up
Fee: $15R / $20NR per team
Location: Jones Island Park Beach
Registration required by: July 11

Only ONE person from your household needs to register if you are only making one boat. Each BOAT requires registration. Waivers must be signed by all participants at the event.
