Join the Park naturalist to make a small river boat out of recycled materials and race your boat against your friends in the river. You can bring your own recycled materials to customize, outfit, or decorate your boat, but we will provide enough for one boat per person.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Bring clothes and close-toed shoes that you can wear in the river and don’t mind getting wet and dirty.
