27th Annual Paper Boat Race Each year, staff representatives from each Recreation Summer Camp (Tenderfoot, Little Walnut, Walnut Creek Day Camp, Walnut Creek Sports Camp, Arts, Adventures & Academics, Specialized Recreation Camp and the pool lifeguards) compete in a cardboard boat race across the lap pool. Themed boats are made of masking tape, cardboard, and white glue. Each boat is large enough to carry a camp leader across the pool and back. Awards are given both to the race winner and to the camp with the most creative theme. Campers from afternoon camps attend the race during camp hours. Morning-only campers are encouraged to attend the event with their parents or guardians to participate in the boat parade and support their counselors in the cheering section.

To receive your emergency and registration form and to be placed on the Specialized Recreation Summer Day Camp mailing list, please contact Preston Jones at (925) 256-3531 or email at jonesp@walnut-creek.org. Campers experience a fun-filled day camp with crafts, games, nature study, music, sports, drama and swimming. Activities for teens and young adults help to develop independent living skills such as shopping, cooking, social skills and environmental education. SERVICES OF A PERSONAL NATURE: The Camp does not provide assistance in eating and toileting and although our staff/volunteer to camper ratio is very high (3:1) this does not mean that we are able to provide 1-to-1 care for your child during the camp. REGISTER SEPARATELY FOR TRIPS: Trips include Overnight Campout, Cardboard Boat Races, and the Oakland Zoo. Registration cost includes $25 lab fee.
