Phantoms Attend Dragon Boat Race Camp in Ontario

Posted on by

Members of our coaching staff attended the Bow Wave Race Camp in Pickering, Ontario. This intensive week-long camp taught by world class coaches covered a broad range of subject pertaining to dragon boating technique, coaching, race strategy, etc.  It also afforded an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with paddlers and coaches from all over the United States, Canada and other parts of the world. 

Our own coach for the week leads the Dragonheart Vermont organization, arguably one of the most well-established and successful BCS dragon boat crews in the country.  The finale of the camp was an opportunity for attending crews to compete in the Pickering Dragon Boat Festival.
