Community Organizations
Bucks County Dragon Boat Association
The Bucks County Dragon Boat Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to promote the sport of Dragon Boating in Bucks County and the surrounding areas. Every September, the BCDBA holds a Dragon Boat Festival in Core Creek Park with the overarching goal of "paddling out hunger" in the region.

EPAC (Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance of Climbers)
The Eastern Pennsylvanian Alliance of Climbers (EPAC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to stewardship and advocacy work at climbing sites throughout Eastern Pennsylvania.
