SUMMARY:Build-A-Boat
DESCRIPTION:Anchors aweigh!\n\nWe’re setting sail on Lake Lorraine with our first Build a Boat event!\n\nIn this program you will use a variety of building materials to create your own boat\, but that’s not all! We’ll be putting these watercrafts to the test! Whoever’s boat can hold the most weight wins the bragging rights!\nWe will have duct tape\, cardboard\, popsicle sticks\, and other miscellaneous building supplies\, but if you think you have the ultimate material for a heavy duty ship\, bring it along for the utmost advantage!\nThis event is $5 per boat\, so come with a team to build an epic sea-faring vessel or challenge yourself to work alone on your own boat.\nEnjoy an afternoon lakeside building your boats with us! We can’t wait to see what you create!
