===Dragonheart Vermont===
Looking for a unique corporate team-building experience?
Dragonheart Vermont has just the activity for you and your co-workers. It’s a sport that we are passionate about and we know that your experience will score with your co-workers. Dragon boating is paddle sport that brings new meaning to the word TEAMWORK. Imagine placing 20 people in a dragon boat. It can be a mix of men or women, young or old, fit or not so fit. Getting the boat to move is relatively easy as most people can stroke a paddle in the water. The light bulb moment comes when these 20 people realize that the boat will only glide if all 20 paddlers stroke in sync. It’s all about collaboration, timing, effort, and putting team before self. Aren’t these the same qualities you try to build in your co-workers at your workplace? Treat your employees to a half-day or full day team- building session that builds camaraderie, cohesiveness, and pride. Schedule this experience to meld new companies or departments. Offer a dragon boat session to your clients to build relationships. Make it part of your conference to have the most talked about activity you’ll ever offer.
Dragonheart Vermont will soon be offering:
A two-session event with both land and water training.
+ Minimum of 16 people and a maximum of 80 people.
We can arrange for a meal at a local waterfront restaurant or lake cruise, if desired.
A full day experience that includes a morning and afternoon paddling experience with a meal in between at a local waterfront restaurant or lake cruise.
+ Minimum of 16 people and a maximum of 80 people.

===Pan Am Dragon Boat===
Dragon boating and the reality of corporate life today have a strong connection. They are both fast paced; they have to deal with changing external environments; and most of all, they both rely heavily on the 'ultimate team' in order to succeed.
While the mechanics of dragon boating are easy to describe, the sensation of the experience is not. The evidence of its power and impact is clear. It has become the fastest growing water sport in the world. Being one of the most accessible sports, dragon boat racing can truly be enjoyed by everyone. There is a sense of camaraderie, unity, personal accountability and achievement that fosters the growth of a true team - in and out of the boat.
As you begin to plan your team building event, we are pleased to present the Ultimate Dragon Boat Experience. This opportunity to achieve corporate initiatives through a participatory, inclusive activity will provide your group with an experience they can take back and apply to their day-to-day efforts within your organization.
Your dragon boat team building program can be designed in a manner that best suits the goals, budget and format desired by your organization. The event can be hosted virtually anywhere, but our recommendations include Rocky Point in Tampa and Downtown Tampa. Events can incorporate as few as 20 paddlers or as many as 160 on the water at one time. It can be part of an overall gathering or event such as a daylong picnic or as short as a 2-hour workshop.
