Further Information:
This will be a small group, fun course with plenty of different adventurous
paddle-sport activities throughout the week. With quality coaching and
learning through fun "games with aims", led by our friendly, experienced and
qualified coaches who have a genuine passion for canoeing, outdoor
education and child development. Summer camps and outdoor activities are
where kids have some of the best formative experiences of their young lives,
learning while having fun and making new friends.
No previous paddling experience is required. These courses are great for
water confidence and no swimming ability is required. Our coaches will
always be in direct supervision of the activities and buoyancy aids will be
properly fitted and checked for all participants.
Participants will have the option to complete the National Governing Body
Certificated Personal Performance Awards.
Erne paddlers has a fantastic club ethos of everyone helping out and
supporting each other. We encourage a growth mindset, personal
development and building resilience through overcoming well managed
challenges with positive feedback.
A wide range of fun and challenging paddling activities will be on offer including;
open canoe trips, sit-on-top kayaks, stand up paddleboards, journeys, games, skills and more.
Participant numbers are strictly limited for quality and safety.
7yrs is the minimum age for attendance on our activities. The other
age ranges shown are guidelines. If you want to book kids that are
slightly older/younger together that is usually okay, and we will try
to accommodate siblings and friends together if possible.
All our courses are open to all. You do not need to be a member to book.
We aim to be as inclusive as possible. If you have any additional needs or
may require support to paddle, please contact us to see how we can help
you.
Equipment
We will provide all the paddlesport and safety equipment you need;
kayaks/canoes, etc, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets.
The only thing we can't supply is your personal paddling wear.
For this activity, normal outdoor clothes suitable for the prevailing weather
(tracksuit, fleeces or walking clothes and waterproofs, including shoes to get
wet) are perfectly fine. If you have a wetsuit, that's great, please feel free
to wear it, but it is not necessary for this event.
A full set of dry clothes including shoes and a towel are essential to bring for
your comfort and safety.
Please apply sunscreen as necessary.
Facilities:
Toilet facilities are available at the Round O. There are no showers or
changing rooms.
Please arrive ready to go paddling or change at your car as many paddlers
do. A changing towel and a mat to stand on make this a much easier and
more discrete process, or a large bin liner to sit on on the way home in your
paddling kit works well too.
