While your competitors are still waiting for the water to warm up, you could be giving your dragon boat season a jump-start with a paddling vacation in Orlando, Florida. Spring camp is suitable for all ages and levels, perfect for those looking for a break from the ordinary (or cold) while enjoying the sport of dragon boat with like-minded people.
GWN Dragon Boat will be returning to Westgate Lakes Resort in Orlando (9500 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, FL, 32819) on April 10-18, 2026! Coaching will be provided by internationally experienced coaches and paddlers who will share their technique, tips and training regimes.
The camp is offered as a full-week experience and a 3-day accelerated program.
