29th 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 during 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.

Tenderfoot campers are a little younger than our Little

Walnuts. If your child has not yet started preschool,

Tenderfoot is a great start. Children who have had more

school or play group experiences will find Little Walnut

camp a perfect fit. Whichever camp you choose, our

program leaders will make sure that your child has a

wonderful summer!
