Don't Rock the Boat 2024

Don't Rock the Boat is back! Give Back Cincinnati will be cleaning up the waterway along Winton Lake at Winton Woods Park. Volunteers will form small groups (3-4 people) that will take row boats out into the lake to pick up litter in the water and along the shore. Event Agenda: - 9:30am: Check-in and registration - 10:00am - 1:00pm: Event kickoff and cleaning up trash in and around Winton Lake. - 1:00pm - 2:00pm: After party at Brink Brewing! All clean-up supplies, boats, oars, and life vests will be provided to volunteers. Parking: Winton Woods is providing free parking for all volunteers. Please inform the employee working at the welcome booth that you're there to volunteer at the Don't Rock the Boat event, and they will let you in for no charge. You may park anywhere near the harbor. Quick tips: - All volunteers must be 18+ - Closed-toe shoes are required - We recommend pants and long-sleeved shirts to protect against sun and poison ivy - Apply sunscreen and bug spray - In the unlikely event that you end up in the water, we recommend that you come dressed in clothes you won't mind getting wet and that you lock valuables like your phone, wallet, purse, etc. in your car. - Remember to stay hydrated throughout the day! We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. A water fountain is available at the Harbor Snack Bar a short distance from the boat house. - Restrooms are available at the Harbor Snack Bar. Rain date is 8/11.
