The Cobourg Dragonboat Club was founded in October of 1999. Dragonboating was first introduced to the Cobourg area in November 1998 by Dorothy Hampson when she started the Survivor Thrivers Dragonboat Team. Two other teams were started that season; the Wave Runners mixed team and the Dragonettes ladies team. Today we have 6 teams competing in Festivals throughout Southern Ontario all summer long!
Dragonboating started in China over 2000 years ago. Twenty paddlers, a drummer and steersperson work together to reach their goal. Festivals are held almost every weekend throughout Ontario and major cities around the world.
The Corporate Team Building Program provides an opportunity for management and employees to experience first hand the exciting sport of Dragonboating! Through practices your staff will learn new paddling skills and ways to work together!
The Cobourg Dragonboat Club Corporate Team Building Program unifies employees in purpose and commitment to succeed. Corporate participation in Dragonboat training and/or racing is designed to motivate people through shared goals, the experience of high profile success and collaborative efforts that contribute to that success! We take groups outside their normal work environment where they have fun and learn to work together to overcome the challenges, all in a safe and supportive environment.
Individuals develop a new sense of self-esteem and self-awareness as they experience the difference between what they thought they could accomplish and what they actually can! Your organization will gain team mebmers with more confidence and energy!
