P4C will sponsor all kayaks and equipment needed to provide the kayak experience to all children at the festival free of charge.

The Tippecanoe River Cleanup Project

P4C’s biggest volunteer effort is the Tippecanoe River Cleanup Project providing assistance to the Indiana DNR Lake and River Enhancement Program for log jam removal. P4C Paddle Club is a non-profit organization that organizes and leads cleanup efforts on the Tippecanoe River, plans monthly float trips and holds fun and competitive community events at the Lakes Festival. P4C stands for Paddlers for Conservation and they love to be on the river. This year P4C will have two cleanup efforts, one on May 7, and one on May 14, and are looking for volunteers and local business to donate and help support these efforts to ensure a successful and productive event.
