DRAGON BOAT ENCOUNTER
Sign up today!
Dragon boat paddling is fun, but if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!
At Nathan Benderson Park, we know rounding up a group can be difficult, so we created an affordable recreational program to help you get on the water.
Our Dragon Boat Encounter is a five-week program designed to get novices up to speed fast — and it culminates with an actual race!
You’ll practice twice weekly, and we supply all the equipment. All you have to do is show up in water-friendly attire.
You can do this. Get on the water with us today!
• Five weeks of practices with certified coaches
• All equipment provided (boats, paddles, personal flotation devices)
• Team shirts for the race
• Entry fee for the Sarasota International Dragon Boat Festival on July 10, right here at NBP
Cost: $150 plus fees and taxes (if applicable) per person
NEW! See 360-degree looks of the park!
