New Paddler Day for Breast Cancer & All Cancer Survivors

New Paddler Day for Breast Cancer Survivors and All Cancer Survivors.  It’s FREE! Try out paddling with no strings attached — if you're ages 14 and older, there’s a seat in the boat for you!   The NBP Paddling Program uses dragon boats, outrigger canoes and more. Whether you’re interested in recreational paddling or you want to be competitive, we have a place for you — and we want to continue building our breast cancer survivors, all-cancer-survivors and our NBP Veterans dragon boat teams. We provide the life jackets and paddles, so bring your sense of adventure and teamwork! You’ll start with on-land training, proper fit of a personal flotation device and paddle, and then get an on-the-water orientation. Tickets aren't needed, but we prefer you RSVP!
