What to Expect

You'll start the week in our heated training pool and at local venues to work on your existing skills with our friendly instructors to help you improve. Then over the rest of the week, we'll travel to some great locations around North Wales where we'll coach and train you on white water skills - this is where the fun begins!

Experience Required

This holiday is designed to be a fun and exciting introduction to white water, sea kayaking and surf kayaking for young people. It is aimed at those aged 12 - 17 years old, who have mastered the basics of kayaking, and would like to broaden their experience. You should have basic kayak control skills, and be able to paddle a kayak round a predetermined route on flat water. You should also be a confident flat water paddler with the ability to manoeuvre your craft with ease.

As you'll be working hard to learn a new skill while you're with us, we make sure you have comfortable accommodation (with WIFI included) and good food as part of the experience. Support is on hand from our friendly, and exceptionally well qualified, staff to help develop your understanding and personal skills. We've got all the paddling equipment you'll need, plus the specialist clothing. Our friendly, experienced team are there for overnight supervision, and evening activities to keep you entertained.
