PROGRAMS
Dragon boats (grades 2 & up): We have a 22 person dragon boat and a 12 person dragon boat. These boats are like voyageur canoes. Great for team building and learning the basic canoe strokes.

Standup Paddle Boards and/or canoes and/or dragon boats (Grades 6 & up): We have enough equipment to have your groups try both paddle sports in a half day. A full day would also include dragon boating.

Grades 2-4:  Focus will be on learning canoe paddle stroke, paddling the Dragon boat and learning on water safety.
​
Grades 5-12:  Focus will be on the differences between a variety of different water crafts (canoes, kayaks, SUP’s and dragon boat) and students will get a chance to paddle them. They will also learn about parts of the boats, water safety, and the different paddling strokes using games and teamwork.
