Cardboard Boat Regatta and Scout Day

SET SAIL ACROSS THE SOUTH LAKE!

Our Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta will take place on Sat., May 11, 2024.

Start making your plans now for this exciting race on the South Lake at Discovery Park. Boats can only be made out of cardboard and duct tape – nothing more!

This is a great way for STEM/STEAM clubs, students, businesses and more to sharpen skills in designing and building boats for the ultimate test in the water.

Registration is free for student teams (ages 12-18).

Registration for all other teams (adults and adult/youth) is $25 through May 3, 2024, and $35 from May 4, 2024, until race day.

Free cardboard is available to be picked up at Discovery Park. Please email John Watkins at jwatkins@discoveryparkofamerica.com to schedule a time for pickup.

*Registration fee includes participation and park admission for up to 4 team members.
