Rocking the Boat's campus sits on the edge of one of the most industrial sections of the Bronx, in the southeast corner of Hunts Point. Sandwiched between the Food Market, which supplies 70% of the fresh food New York consumes, and an aggregate and metal recycling facility, and abutting Hunts Point Riverside Park, Rocking the Boat serves middle and high school students through a suite of after-school programs which engage them in environmental science, sailing and wooden boat building. Rocking the Boat provides a unique youth development opportunity.

As an equity-focused organization, Rocking the Boat also maintains a commitment to providing access to the Bronx River to the larger community. Among other services, community rowing and sailing are offered to the public on Saturdays in the summer.

Visitors to Rocking the Boat for OHNY Weekend will have the opportunity to tour the facility and Hunts Point Riverside Park as well as embark on a rowing excursion on the Bronx River. Participants will learn a brief ecological history of the river as well as have an opportunity to track bird life.

The building lobby and boat shop are wheelchair accessible as is the boat yard and Hunts Point Riverside Park. The transition between the shop and the yard involves steps; visitors must go around the front of the building for step-free access to both spaces.

Persons with limited mobility will not be able to participate in rowing.

Visitors who wish to row should wear comfortable, protective clothing, flat shoes, a hat, and sunscreen.

Children 8+ are welcome accompanied by an adult.
