Challenge the Dragon Experience

Bring your group to the Oklahoma River to Challenge the Dragon! Your team will paddle to the beat of the drummer while learning what it takes to move this festive boat across the water as a team.

Your experience begins with a quick land lesson and safety briefing. Then it’s time to put on PFDs, grab paddles and climb aboard. During the session, participants will get hands-on experience in the importance of working together for a common goal. Afterward, we’ll discuss what you just experienced on the water and how can make your team stronger both on the water and off. The full experience is about 90 minutes.
