Making Waves at Water Country USA

We’re proud to partner with Busch Gardens & Water Country USA to promote water safety and help prevent drowning through the launch of their newest attraction, High Tide Harbor. 

To mark opening day, Busch Gardens & Water Country USA Park President Kevin Lembke and our association’s President and CEO, Adam Klutts, shared remarks during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. They were joined by children from our YMCA preschool program, who were the first to make a splash, turning a day of fun into a powerful moment of learning and awareness.

Our partnership shares a commitment to equipping every child with the skills and confidence to stay safe in and around water. Throughout the summer, guests will find water safety tips around the park to help them become a water-ready family.
