Why Choose Regatta Point?
Through our time running Regatta Point, we’ve heard stories from parents telling us that their kids...
are eager to get to the boathouses and learn a new skill (even if they didn't enjoy learning before)
tell their family about the new adventures they've had in the water, their eyes gleaming with excitement
go to bed early and wake up early (often without their parents asking them to)
happily leave their cellphones and gaming consoles behind, at least for a period of time, to interact with other kids and appreciate nature.
feel more confident, energized, and strong.
THE BENEFITS OF YOUTH BOATING PROGRAMS ARE TANGIBLE!
One of the most visible impacts of our youth camps is the opportunity for young kids to detach from their phones and technology.
In the embrace of nature and the excitement of the water, they'll experience a refreshing break, fostering genuine connections and allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the moment.
