Good luck to all our Dragon Boat ACT members trialing at home this weekend. And a frosty Canberra winter welcome to Auroras - Australian Dragon Boat Team athletes, coaches & managers. We hope it’s a successful weekend at Grevillea Park. 💚💛💚💛💚

Yesterday DBACT hosted a group from Canto Parents of Canberra 坎培拉粤語家長群 The group had a tour and their littlest members got to be hands on with our Dragon Boats. It was an awesome opportunity for the group to come together and maintain connection to language, culture and tradition. We think we might have found some future Junior paddlers.

Invictus Dragon Boat Club had the privilege of supporting the Terry Campese Foundation Youth Mentor Program, an initiative dedicated to empowering young people through mentorship, leadership, resilience, and connection.

As a club built on teamwork, belonging, and community, it was an honour to share our sport and spend time with a group of inspiring young people. Dragon boating is about so much more than paddling; it's about trust, communication, supporting each other, and discovering what can be achieved when people work together towards a common goal.

We hope that every young person who stepped into our boats today left with a sense of achievement, confidence, and connection. Just as importantly, we hope they felt the warmth of a community that believes in them and wants to see them succeed.

A huge thank you to the Terry Campese Foundation for the incredible work they do in creating opportunities for young people to grow, learn, and thrive. We are proud to have played a small part in their journey.

Another one of our ACT Juniors.
Well done Georgie.
