Dressed in colorful life vests and paddling in a hot pink dragon boat, the Dragon Dream Team paddles three times a week on the beautiful Portage Lakes.  The team is based at Craftsmen Park in New Franklin.  Practices begin with an inspiring Circle of Strength followed by lots of paddling, camaraderie, support and fun.  The team participates in competitive and recreational paddling at community festivals and international competitions.
