Canoeing
Canoeing takes place on very sheltered shallow water, with the children close to the bank at all times. The Canadian canoes used are very stable and accommodate up to 3 children in each canoe. A suitably qualified group leader will take charge of the group, assisting with individual coaching tips throughout. In the second half of the session we normally run canoe games, which enable children to practice their skills whilst also having great fun. Buoyancy aids, canoe helmets and other clothing appropriate to weather conditions are worn throughout.
