Event: Join your HCOS Community as we celebrate the start of a new year with a card-board boat building challenge! (Students will work in teams of 4 to 8 to design and build a sturdy, floatable boat with two paddles out of only cardboard and duct tape. (No motors or floatation devices allowed!) All assembly must be done on location, and groups will include students of different ages. Boats must be finished by race-time at 2 p.m. The floatability of each boat will be tested in the water – so be prepared to get wet! The first three teams to make it back to the shore with the two paddlers still in their boats will win a prize! Families are also welcome to build sand-castles on the beach!)
Bring: Snacks and life-jackets (if needed) and if interested, sand-castle building supplies
