Course Information:
Join us for an exciting week of sailing and kayaking courses this April! Whether your child is a beginner or looking to refine their skills, these half-day sessions are the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy water sports.
- Morning Kayaking Course: Enjoy kayaking on calm waters, this course is suitable for complete beginners and kayakers who already hold awards. The syllabus covers the basic kayaking strokes and gets them comfortable going forwards, backwards and safely capsizing. We will try and progress the kayaker through the PaddleUK Awards.
- Afternoon Sailing Course: Get hands-on sailing experience in the afternoon, exploring the fundamentals and techniques of sailing in a safe and fun environment. This course is suitable for complete beginners and those who have sailed before.
Although Week 1 appears as sold out, spaces are still available. Please book through the 8–10s page and note your child’s age when booking

Book both the morning and afternoon sessions for a full day of action-packed activities. Supervision is provided during lunchtime, and we ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all participants. Please ensure your child brings a packed lunch.
