Join us for a free 2-night series to jumpstart your dragon boat racing journey!
- On Tuesday we’ll teach you the basics of the stroke and of paddling together.
- On Wednesday you’ll sit in on a practice with the racing team.
From there, you can join our M/W practices on gorgeous Lake Champlain and go get your first taste of racing at the amazing Quebec Cup in Montreal September 16-17, alongside teams of all skill levels – including some of the best in the world!
