This year, Boston Kwong Kow will have both adults and youth (ages 14–17) from our school community. We will be training together and racing against other teams in the Community Division!

WHAT IS DRAGON BOAT RACING?

Dragon boating is a fun-filled, adrenaline pumping, water sports activity. Teams compete in Dragon Boats, which are large canoe-like vessels fitted with ornately carved dragon's heads and tails.

Crews of up to 16 people sit in pairs and paddle to compete in races over distances of around 250m. Each boat has a drummer beating time to keep the paddlers in unison, and a professional helmsperson in the stern to guide the boat.

Originating in ancient China, Dragon Boat Racing is now the fastest growing water sport in the world and a favourite among charities and corporations for its fundraising and team-building benefits.

KWONG KOW CHINESE SCHOOL

Founded in 1916, our school is one of the oldest Chinese cultural and educational organizations in New England. Our organization was founded on the mission of establishing an educational institution to help maintain Chinese heritage among those who have immigrated to the United States. For over a century, Kwong Kow has helped immigrant families assimilate into broader society while preserving their sense of culture and identity by providing quality, affordable academic and cultural programming.

We seek to continue serving families in Boston Chinatown and the Greater Boston area by ensuring our programs remain accessible to all. This gives our youth opportunities to engage in academically rigorous, physically engaging, and culturally enriching programs. In doing so, we aim to uplift our local community while sharing Chinese language, history, and culture.
