Turning individuals into teams!

The Corporate Experience – What’s the connection?

The corporate world shares many similarities with dragon boat racing. In both settings, the secret to success involves collaboration, communication, commitment and co-ordination. Without a doubt, the same characteristics that affect your company’s bottom line will also drive you to the finish line.

What’s in it for you?

Dragon boating is a fun team-building activity and a unique way to host clients. Participating in a dragon boat event can benefit your employees, co-workers and clients in numerous ways. Here are some examples:

Dragon boating creates an inclusive environment – people of all ages and fitness levels can participate
The nature of the sport emphasizes unity and working together
Driving toward the finish line renews energy, enthusiasm and motivation
Paddlers communicate by cheering each other on
The sport encourages leaders to move to the fore-front
Completing a race or training session develops a sense of pride and accomplishment among participants
Twenty paddlers in one boat = increased camaraderie

Corporate Challenge Paddling Day

Great team building or customer appreciation activity, as well! This option is for companies seeking a good team building activity but can’t commit to a long-term program. Your staff will benefit from the expertise of Dragon Boat coaches to help build the qualities of cohesion, cooperation and strength of spirit that are typical of high performance teams.

Held weekdays during the months of March through to October, the day includes instruction, coaching, team building exercises, and snacks. If the group is big enough, the day will culminate in a series of races.

Cost is based on a per person basis: Prices start as low as $50 per person.

Minimum number of people: 10

Available for special order: Special awards, catering and custom-made team jerseys are available if given enough notice.

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 4 to 10 weeks. Sessions will involve instruction in aspects of fitness, paddling technique, and race tactics. 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 Steveston Dragon Boat Festival at the end of August.

Includes: Weekly practice sessions, up to 10 coaching sessions, use of all necessary equipment and registration in the Dragon Zone 500M Regatta, Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival or the Steveston Dragon Boat Festival.

Programs are available March through to September.

Cost: Starts as low as $2,000 per team.
