Corporate, Organization, Family & Church Team-Building Activity
nothing beats teamwork in a dragon boat
If your internal corporate team, family reunion, or church group needs a fun team building alternative, there is no other comparison to working together in a 46-foot long dragon boat. Paddlers learn the art of synchronization, communication, and stamina – skills that can have a measurable positive impact off the water.
Speaking of dry land, when you’re not racing, you and your group will enjoy unmatched camaraderie in historic Blue Island, with some of the best scenery, food, drink, and people the south side has to offer.
How dragon boating can help you achieve results for your team:
– Better communication with honest, positive dialogue.
– In a dragon boat, it doesn’t matter who you are. The only thing that matters is you’re fulfilling your role and synchronizing with everyone else.
– Competition is healthy and gives purpose for trying harder.
– Using target goals to achieve maximum success.
– Focusing on a task that includes everyone counting on each other to bring their best effort.
– Building meaningful relationships.
– Improved energy level.
– Increased productivity.
”“We had a blast! THANK YOU! We all enjoyed the event.” ~ Joel from Chicago Southland CVB.
