Do you have what it takes to build the fastest boat? Participants will assemble their hand-held boats using only natural materials (some provided, some found); some bark here, some twine there and some mud to fill in the gaps ...

Once done, participants will unleash their boats in the creek to see which boat makes it to the end! We will finish the program with some classic creeking and hiking! Wear your creek shoes!
