2024 FLORIDA TRAINING CAMP

  • Coach Hype Jersey

    A great shot of our team bearing down on the finish line of the 2000m race.

  • SpaceX rocket launch

    We have watched several rocket launches over the years, as we are just 40 minutes south of Cape Canaveral.

  • Atlantic Ocean Waves

    The camp is just minutes from the Ocean, and many of us book hotels, AirBnB, etc right on the Atlantic.

  • Camp BBQ and Skits

    The last event of every week is the BBQ and Camp Skits.

  • Jim Farintosh

    Camp creator and director.

Jim Farintosh announced in September 2023 that his annual camp will be back up and running in April 2024, and that he will now be supported administratively by Alkame Dragon Boat Services (Scott Murray and Katy Dunlop).  As usual, the camp runs over three separate weeks, and the consensus of our core Toronto and Denver past participants is to choose week 2 of 3 >> April 7 (Sunday) to April 13 (Saturday), 2024.


As official camp registration will open October 1st, we must act swiftly to pre-register individuals among ourselves so we are ready.  It is likely the event will sell out in certain weeks (if not all three weeks). 


Locations: Oars and Paddles Park (on water components) and Ascension Lutheran Church (in class sessions, including video review).

 

For those going and interested, we will try to book a large AirBnB again. 

   

  • Twice-daily training sessions on the water, with a top coach assigned to us (from Canada, USA, or abroad).
  • The camp fee has not been set yet, but is expected to be similar to previous years.  It was last $420 USD so expect a small increase.

If you have any questions, or to register, please call or e-mail Tim MacFarlane as detailed in the contact info at the bottom of this page.
