Build these ahead of time or bring the supplies to work on it at camp.

Please note that guidelines are for both the design and the race competition.

• Sled may be constructed of cardboard, PVC, tape, glue, string, inner tubes, rope, etc. No part of the sled’s construction may be made of wood or metal (this includes fasteners, nails, and screws).

• No part of the sled may be made of items originally manufactured for sledding purposes. It is acceptable to use tires or inner tubes.

• The only permissible material on the bottom of the sled (what will touch the snow) is cardboard. A wax coating and tape are permissible. This is a safety policy as other materials can accelerate the sled to an unsafe speed.

• The sled needs to fit through a 5’x 7’ doorway.

• Construction guidelines must be followed completely in order to be entered in competition.

• Design Competition Guidelines: Sleds are judged on originality, complexity, color and “Game Day” theme.

• Race Competition Guidelines: Sleds are timed and there is a maximum of five people per sled.

- Where can I store my group's cardboard sled when we arrive/are done building it?

We recommend that you keep your cardboard sled in your group’s vehicle if you are able to do so. If you choose to build your sled once you arrive on campus and do not have room for it in your vehicle, you can store it in the breezeway of the Jack Wyrtzen Center.
