About the Event

Kids build and paint a small pinewood car, with dads helping on tools and finishing touches. Building a week and a half before the race leaves time to finish painting at home. Last year’s craft night also included Winter Camp T-shirt designs and skit planning; we’ll share if those are on the list again.

Please read the Pinewood Derby rules (PDF) for car specifications before you start.

What to Bring

  • A smock or old shirt for painting
  • A small box to carry your car home
