Carboard boat regatta

Last year we started the Adventure Boys Club (including one super cute little sister). We have done a lot of fun activities including making swords, wittling, navigation, fire starting, among many other fun projects. This last project has taken us 6 weeks to complete.

Is it possible to build a boat that can sail the length of a 35ft backyard pool out of nothing but cardboard and duct tape? It sure is! The boys and some of their fellow homeschooled friends proved it!
Not only were the kids able to design and build boats without *any* adult guidance or involvement, but all three of their boats made it across the pool three times!
Three teams of three made it across the pool three times. I am so proud of these kids and this accomplishment!
