  • Dragon Boating represents one of the coolest Asian cultural activities introduced to the West.  How can you not have fun with 22 people in a 40' long canoe.  Take 20 paddlers a drummer and steerer - and see how they work together towards moving the boat about the waterway! Although the task itself is simple, the process of learning as individuals to become a team holds the challenge and the fun.

  • CURRENT PRACTICES: When feeling sick or you have a temperature - STAY HOME!

  • WE WANT YOU! Women's BCP Dragon Boat teams represent a fast growing sector of the dragon boating community around the world. These teams serve as a refreshing physical activity for individuals and a unique support group for those fighting a common battle. Please contact the team leader if you are interested in helping with the administration, or if you just want to do your part and PADDLE!
