The Sister at Heart Celebration
Saturday, August 2, 2008
Dragonheart Vermont invites your team to join us on beautiful Lake
Champlain for a weekend of paddling fun. Lucky us to get to share time
together in Burlington again this year for our Sisters at Heart
Celebration. It’s a weekend packed with paddling, singing,
racing, eating, laughing, and more. It’s especially for breast
cancer survivor dragon boat teams like yours. Don’t miss out on
the fun!
We have planned another perfect weekend for you. This year we will
expand to include 15 dragon boat teams. To do so, we will divide into
three groups. On Saturday morning, there will be a Power Up
Paddling Workshop put on by the experienced and delightful
crew of Montreal’s 22Dragons. You will be sure
to pick up some new paddling tips and enjoy the change of coaching perspective.
We are so thrilled to be able to offer you a special In the
Pink Stretch Workshop led by none other than the favorite Pied
Piper of stretching — Kevin Kwan from Kwantum
Wellness out of Edmonton, Canada. Many of you already know
Kevin from the GWN Florida Dragon Boat Camp and our festival last year.
Cost:
$80 USD per person for the entire weekend.
This price includes a Paddling Workshop, a Stretching Workshop,
a Sing-Along Workshop, lunch, a lake cruise, a 500-meter
race, ice cream, two 500-meter races at the community festival,
a festival T-shirt, a medal for festival participation,
and a chance to vie for the BCBCVT Sisters at Heart Challenge
Cup. It’s a bargain!
This year teams need to complete only one registration
form for the weekend. It is an online registration/payment
system. There is an $80 USD per person weekend charge, but
you must register as a team to hold your space. We are limited
to the first 15 teams who have paid their weekend fees and
completed their team registration. Our space is limited,
so don’t delay.
Register today! |

He is incomparably positive, talented, and entertaining. Who else could
take Therabands and balloons and make stretching fun? We also have our
Sisters Sing-Along Workshop. An a capella group called The
Meter Maids will entertain and engage you in song. After a busy morning,
we will be ready to enjoy a yummy lunch together as we cruise around
the lake on board The Spirit of Ethan Allen. Next up is a group
photo to capture the joy of the day. Like last year, Coach John will
mix and match the crews to carry out our Sisters Friendship
Races. Finally, it’s a Vermont ending to the perfect
day — Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. What
remains of the afternoon and evening is yours to enjoy as you like.
Relax at your hotel. Take a walk along the waterfront and watch the
sunset. Shop on Church Street. Dine at any of Burlington’s fine
restaurants. Take in and enjoy our beautiful city.
On Sunday, the breast cancer survivor teams will be the honored guests
at our Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival. The spotlight
will be on the breast cancer survivor teams as they race in their own
division in our community festival. The breast cancer teams will kick
off the races early at 7:30 am (7:00 am marshalling). The Sisters
at Heart Challenge Cup and Flower Ceremony sponsored by Blue
Cross/Blue Shield of Vermont (BCBSVT) will be held around noon. It is
one of the highlights of the day. After the presentation of the Challenge
Cup and Spirit Award winners, teams are able to enjoy the rest
of the races, do some shopping, or begin your journey home.
