Aotea College, Paraparaumu College and HVHS are excited to advise that we are putting together a team for the Wellington Dragon Boat Festival (Youth)
The Wellington Harbour comes alive when youth crews are paddling. The vibrancy of the inter-schools competition is an unmissable event!
The 2027 youth dragon boat season begins on early Feb, and runs for 4 weeks until the Festival. Youth teams also have the opportunity to enter the Harbour Fun Day.
Training sessions occur between 4pm and 7pm Monday - Thursday, with teams a minimum of 1 training per week.
Not only is the youth racing watched by thousands of spectators, the team chant competition has become a huge part of the festival with a trophy awarded for the winning team. Prizegiving occurs onsite after the festival on Sunday, with medals for teams that place in their respective finals.
Cost $140 per person* Estimate, prices are subject to supplier cost
