"This was probably the coolest thing I did over the summer. I will always cherish the memories that I made with my friends at Dragon Boat and I’m excited to do it all over again." -Zoella, age 12

Minocqua Dragon Boat Festival: Aug 17, 2024

Our Youth team won GOLD at last year's Minocqua Dragon Boat Festival and we want to defend our title as youth team champions!

Wear clothing that is comfortable and stretchy for exercise.  Quick dry fabrics are great after getting splashed. 

Shoes or strappy sandals should have good grip (we use our feet to push off the boat), be ok to get wet. No flip flops.

Bring water in a plastic bottle (no metal bottles) and maybe a snack for afterward.

All equipment for the youth has been provided by the generous donations of our sponsors!  If you have your own PFD, seat pad, or dragon paddle you are welcome to bring it.

Yes we work hard, but we want each child to learn and enjoy this new sport!  Plus it's a blast to watch our Youth team win over adult boats during the local festival.  

Any youth turning ages 12 - 18 in the year are eligible to join the team. 

  ● Exhibit good sportsmanship at all times

● Treat teammates and our coach like you want to be treated

● Value and respect every member of the team

● Leave personal problems/issues on shore

● Show respect for our community and sponsors in actions and words

  ●  Model respect and positivity, regardless of race outcomes, to instill resilience and sportsmanship. Complete the waiver prior to the first practice

● Keep RSVPs up-to-date in TeamSnap

● Get the attending youth to practice on time. This enables the youth member to get equipment and be ready to hit the water.
