Cardboard Boat Regatta and Scout Day

May 10th, 2025

Set Sail Across the South Lake!

Our Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta will take place on Sat., May 10, 2025. All Scouts in full uniform will receive FREE admission.

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.

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