Canoe Experience
Experience Canoeing For Yourself!
Our canoeing experience is the perfect way to get a taste for this fantastic and diverse sport while meeting some new people or having a fun afternoon out with friends. Our canoe coaches will kit you out with a buoyancy aid and waterproof top before giving you a safety briefing (should you capsize) and launching you out on the water which is where the fun really begins! Once on the lake our instructors will teach you some key canoeing skills and techniques to get you started, and we'll also play a few watery games!
Courses are run on a lake or reservoir so you can learn to paddle your canoe in a safe and calm environment. Your instructor will help you smooth out those first time wobbles and build your confidence to enable you to canoe efficiently and hopefully improve your skills in the future!
If you have already tried canoeing and want to develop your knowledge and skills of the sport why not take the 1 Star Canoe Award and start on your way to becoming a qualified kayaker?
