Corporate Team Challenge

Turning Individuals Into Teams

Dragon Boating can help you and your staff achieve a sense of personal satisfaction that you may have thought was beyond you.

Your staff will benefit from the expertise of our Dragon Boat coaches to help build the qualities of cohesion, cooperation and strength of spirit that are typical of high performance teams.

We have created a training and competition program that will enable a select number of people to learn, or refine, their paddling skills. The training component will help to develop the skill and fitness levels of your staff. The competition phase will provide the opportunity for your staff team to compete against other local businesses for recognition as the ultimate team players.

Training sessions will be held up to 12 weeks (minimum 4 weeks depending on your needs). Sessions will involve instruction in aspects of fitness, paddling technique, and race tactics. Your team will take part in the mid-program regatta, racing over a 500m course, so that benchmark performances can be established. A rating system will operate to ensure that all crews are competitive. The spring/summer program culminates at the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival held annually in June. The Summer/Fall option for later in the season culminates with the Last Gasp Regatta at the end of August, or the Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival in September.

Includes: Up to 10 practices with coach, use of all necessary equipment, jerseys, and registration in the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Zone 500M Regatta and the Last Gasp Regatta.

Programs are available March through to September.

Cost: $3,900 per team
