Bathtub Race for Charity
Mar. 25
Lake Kaweah
Create a floatable, steerable boat out of an old cast-iron bathtub with only the materials we provide you, and race across Lake Kaweah for the charity of your choice. Participants race as part of a team and a team entry fee is required, as all fees are pooled to create a “pot” for the winning team’s favorite charity. This event is part of our Hero Appreciation Month’s program, so spectators may attend the event for free. Frank Root, our experienced local guide, provides free rides and water safety lessons to the children.
