What is the Dad Vail Corporate Challenge?
Since 2000, Corporate Sponsors of the Dad Vail Regatta have been offered, as part of their sponsorship package, the opportunity to compete in the regatta's ‘Corporate Challenge' race. This race is the Capstone of a unique, six week team building experience facilitated by Team Concepts, a team building and leadership development organization. There are four racing divisions based on the rowing experience of your crew.
NO ROWING EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY!
A Unique Sponsorship Opportunity and Team Building Event for your Company!
