Four members of the Navy League Cadet Corps. Armour Ford will spend 12 hours this Sunday, July 21 sitting in a small puddle duck boat in front of Walmart. They will hop into the boat at 8 a.m. and aside from hourly bathroom breaks they won’t get out until 8 p.m.
No, it’s not some odd training ritual: the cadets are holding a boat-a-thon to raise money to attend a four-day leadership camp in Sooke from Aug. 8-11.
Instructor Todd Flaro decided it would be a unique way to raise both the profile of Navy League in the city as well as some funds. They would like to raise $1,150 to
send up to 22 cadets to the camp.
