Cardboard Regatta 

The senior programs team has organized a cardboard boat regatta for the past two years. Teams from the senior centers come together to build boats and race against time to be declared the fastest vessel in the water. The only catch, each boat must be made out of cardboard, duct tape and garbage bags. There are additional awards for Team Spirit, Spectacular Sink and for the most creative cruiser.
