Adaptive Dragon Boating Team Experience 

Experience the unstoppable rise of Adaptive Adventures Dragon Boat Teams! Since 2014, we’ve dominated the dragon boat scene, clinching the prestigious USA Dragon Boat Club Champion Title. Operating from our Colorado and Illinois offices, we also collaborate with partners nationwide to spread the dragon boat fervor. 

Introducing “Team Blue” – the embodiment of excellence! Conquering able-bodied teams, we’ve consistently secured top national rankings and proudly adorned ourselves with numerous medals. In a lighthearted banter with an elite team, we exclaimed, “With all our 68 limbs and 20 heartbeats (out of 80 possible – 20 people per boat), we stand ahead of you!” Laughter ensued, and their determination intensified. 

We are Team Blue – a force fueled by passion, determination, and heart! Explore our calendar for Team Blue Denver, Team Blue Chicago, Team Blue Phoenix, Team Blue Sarasota, and Team Blue Puerto Rico. Join us in our extraordinary journey!
