COME JOIN US
If you have never paddled we would love to introduce you to the sport.
We provide all needed equipment: Paddle’s, PFD’s, Boat and Coaching.
Dress in layers, wear clothes that can get wet and bring a bottle of water.
Paddlers are required to sign a Liability Waiver once each season. You can download a copy here, fill it out, and bring with you. We will also have forms available at the dock. Please arrive early if you need to fill out one at the dock.
Don’t worry about coming to practice and keeping up with experienced paddlers, we all began as novices and our coaches will work to teach you technique and scale the practice to your needs. Above all, we love to get out on the water and have fun so come give dragon boating a try!
