  • Communicating the following with your Team before the event: 

    • Prepare to Sweat: Dragon boating is a fun team-building activity that promotes both mental and physical teamwork. While we will not ask anyone to exert themselves more than they feel comfortable, dragon boating is a racing sport; paddlers will be encouraged to exert physical strength and endurance while having fun on the water. 

    • Pay Attention: The lake can be busy in the summer. It is imperative that paddlers obey coaches and tillers at all times, as immediate response may be required to avoid hazardous situations. 

    • Dress Appropriately: Dress in exercise-type clothing as if it is 10-20 degrees warmer than the current temperature. Wear shoes or sturdy sandals that can get wet.

    The suggested donation is $400 per boat. 1 boat can hold up to 16 participants. Check payable to SFDBC or use the donate feature below. For youth groups, educational, and non-profit organizations, the suggested donation is $350 per boat
