Youth Club

baca5063-bf82-4ab7-a4cc-dd44fb7970c8.jpg

  Our very popular, Youth Club provides young people an exciting opportunity to participate in dinghy sailing, kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddleboarding in a fun and safe environment. The sessions are run in an informal manner and the children can choose which activity they would like to do on the day. 

Youth club is aimed at everyone aged 8 to 17 from watersport rookies to enthusiasts.  

Some young people choose to work towards National Governing Body Awards, but our instructors will help and encourage their development in whatever skill they chose to do.

 

Our youth club runs on two schedules:

Off Season Mid October - Mid April
Saturdays:

9.00am-11.00am, 11.30pm-13.30pm & 14:00-16:00

   
Peak Season Mid April - Mid October
Monday & Wednesdays: 4:30pm-6:00pm + 6:15pm-7:45pm
Saturdays: 9am-11am, 11:30am-1:30pm, 2.30pm - 4.30pm

Monday and Wednesday evenings are due to restart from Monday 17th April 2023

 

Children can book onto one weekday session and one Saturday session per week. This is to allow everyone a chance of getting out on the water. 

During peak season, our Youth Club is extremely popular. It is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment, as if numbers are limited, access is on a first come first served basis.

 

For infomation on how to join and book, please see below.
