It's NS-SC's Cardboard Boat Regatta Time!
SPECIAL LABOR DAY EVENTS!
We’ll have two special Labor Day events. First, we’ll have a cardboard boat regatta. This is open to ALL AGES! Race check in and inspection will be from 11-11:45 AM. Races start at Noon. Race across the pool without sinking or flipping. We’ll send a separate email early this week with all the details including a sign-up sheet and rules on how the boats must be made. There will be prizes in several categories, including Most Epic Sink!
Second, at 5:30 PM, we’ll have the closing day tradition, “Chumming for Change.” We’ll toss a lot of loose change into the pool and the kids can jump in and collect as much as they can. We’ll be putting a cannister at the Snack Shack, so if you have some loose change at home you’d like to donate, please put it in the cannister or bring it before 5:30 PM on Labor Day.
Build your cardboard boats!
Here are the details for the Dolphin Dash Cardboard Boat Regatta on Labor Day. Also, we’ll have a jar at the Snack Shack starting this evening for you to contribute small change for the Coin Toss for the kids which will be at 5:30 PM on Labor Day.
