Dragon Boat & Outrigger 6 Summer Camp

Provider: Victoria Recreation Club (VRC)

Are you ready to dive into a week dedicated to the thrill of Dragon Boat and Outrigger 6 paddling? Our Dragon Boat Camp & Outrigger 6 Intensive Week is designed for teams who want to focus on these two iconic water sports. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or new to team watercraft, this program will challenge your skills, build teamwork, and create unforgettable memories on the water.

This program is designed to alternate between Dragon Boat and Outrigger 6 paddling, allowing teams to focus on the unique skills required for each watercraft.  

• Dragon Boat Days: Focus on synchronization, power, and endurance. Learn to paddle as one unit, with an emphasis on timing and teamwork.  

• Outrigger 6 Days: Develop rhythm, balance, and coordination. Outrigger 6 requires a different paddling technique and a strong sense of teamwork to navigate the canoe effectively.  

• Race Day: The week culminates in a friendly competition, where teams can showcase their progress in both Dragon Boat and Outrigger 6 paddling.

Wednesday: Dragon Boat Drills & Endurance - Dive deeper into Dragon Boat paddling with advanced drills focused on endurance, speed, and precision. Work on synchronizing your team's strokes and improving your overall paddling efficiency.

Thursday: Outrigger 6 Team Challenges - Take your Outrigger 6 skills to the next level with team challenges. Engage in balance exercises, rhythm drills, and team paddling sessions. This day will test your coordination and teamwork as you navigate more complex water conditions.

Friday: Dragon Boat & Outrigger 6 Race Day - End the week with a thrilling race day! Compete in both Dragon Boat and Outrigger 6 races, putting your team's skills, coordination, and endurance to the test. Celebrate your progress and teamwork with a fun and competitive finale.
