CORPORATE DRAGON
BOAT RACING

Corporate Dragon Boat Racing, Motivational Events, Corporate Water Activity, Team Building, Nationwide, UK

The Activity
Corporate dragon boat events are an exciting way of motivating and integrating staff from all areas of the company. Dragon Boating quickly gets everyone working together and successfully keeps them occupied at all times.

Our experience ranges from a team building exercise for 20 sales delegates at a company conference to the organisation of Britain’s largest corporate dragon boat event, the UK & Ireland Corporate Games, which regularly attracts more than 60 company teams.
