    Description

    Teens just love this week !

    17th to 20th June & 22nd to 25th July at Edermine Bridge, Co Wexford.

    Camps run from 9:30am - 12:30pm, Tuesday - Friday.

    Our summer camps are all about FUN with a little bit of sneaky teaching thrown in along the way.

    Teens love our Summer Camps making them very popular, our ratio is 8 young people to 1 instructor so places are limited, book early so you don't miss out.

    Our aim for every Kayak Camper is that they will:

    1. Learn new skills
    2. Make a new friend
    3. Grow in self confidence
    4. Experience going on a true adventure with our end of camp river trip.
    5. Learn the basics of how to rescue themselves while in the water
    6. Learn how to help a friend back into their kayak.
    7. Learn how to use and correctly adjust all of the safety equipment, should they have their own one day.
    8. Learn to respect the river and all the beautiful flora and fauna that live in it.
    9. Learn the principles of Leave No Trace
    10. No experience needed

    Wetsuit including all safety equipment is provided.

    All our staff are fully qualified Canoeing Ireland Kayak Instructors, are garda vetted and have attended a relevant Safeguarding Course.

    Suitable for teens aged 13 - 17 years old.

    ***Family Discounts available. Save €10 per person when 2 or more from the same household book in together.

    Kayak Camps are weather dependent. If, for safety reasons we need to cancel a day we will give as much notice as is reasonably possible.

    ***Parents & Guardians***

    Please make all bookings under your own name, once payment is made you will be asked to "invite" your child/children. This is where you register them. You will also be able to complete their question pack and consent form.

    Thank you

    GoPaddle.ie Team


    Requirements

    Suitable for young people age 13 - 17 years.

    Summer Campers will wear a Buoyancy Aid (life jacket) at all times while in the water but to ensure that your young person has a positive experience, they should be comfortable in and around water.

    What to bring
    1. something to wear under the wetsuit, ie swimming togs or shorts and T- shirt
    2. towel
    3. old runners that will get wet
    4. snacks and a drink for break time
    5. any relevant medication, eg inhalers etc…
    Itinerary

    On arrival Summer Campers will be given an introduction to all of the safety equipment.

    Each camp day starts with some land based ice-breakers and warm-up games then we head out on the water for an hour of lessons and games.

    After a quick mid morning snack and refuelling break we are back out on the water for another hour of water activities and challenges.

    At the end of each day we allow Summer Campers 10 minutes of free time to have a swim and a splash with their new friends. All that's left to do then is tidy up & return the safety equipment before heading home.
