A Lemon:Aid stand will not only quench the thirst of someone in your neighborhood but also kids halfway around the world in Africa. $1 for each delicious cup!

Paper Boat Race
Grab your craft box, build and decorate your boats and line them up to race toward the finish line! Each boat is $1 to race. Bonus points to those with the coolest designs!

Water Balloon Fight
Host a community water balloon fight! Every balloon cost 25 cents. Play every man for himself or divide and conquer in teams!

Cannon Ball Contest
Have a pool? What about a cannon ball contest with a $5 entry fee! The bigger the splash, the better!
