Paddling Sessions

For young people aged 8 to 10 years old

Join in our summer holiday fun at one of our paddling sessions!

£10 per person per session.

Paddling sessions give young people the opportunity to build their confidence and skills in an outdoor adventure sport whilst also making new friends.

During the sessions, participants will learn basic paddling skills and technique, play games and learn about the different craft we have at Waterside (Canoes, Kayaks & Paddleboards).

Sessions are led by qualified instructors.

Buoyancy aids will be provided and must be worn by all participants throughout the activity.

All participants must wear closed-toe shoes when paddling (no flip-flops or sliders).

Participants should bring a towel and change of clothes with them to change into at the end of the session.

We ask that participants wear clothes that do not restrict their movement and that they are happy to get wet and dirty as this is an outdoor adventure sport activity.
