What’s Planned: Picnic, balloon-themed activities & contests featuring the film UP
Wear: Feel free to dress-UP but shoes you can run-in are a must!

Want to paddle with your pals? This is a fantastic opportunity to introduce friends/colleagues to Ripple and the sport of dragon boating to interested individuals we know.
Do you miss how great it felt to be on the water paddling? All are welcome to grab a paddle and hit the water with Ripple! We know Alumni get the itch to paddle, so go ahead and hop in the boat with us.
