Adult Courses


We offer adult canoeing and kayaking courses for members of Scouting and Girlguiding during summer weekends.

No paddling experience is needed to sign up to this course. However you should be water confident and be able to swim 25m while wearing a buoyancy aid. By the end of the course the participants may be awarded the British Canoeing Discover Certificate.


Kayaking Courses

Two-day adult kayaking courses suitable for beginners or intermediate paddlers working towards the British Canoeing Discover Award, Explore Award or a Scouting Permit are available on the following dates:

  • 11-12 May 2024
  • 22-23 June 2024

Canoeing Courses

Two day adult canoeing courses suitable for beginners or intermediate paddlers working towards the British Canoeing Discover Award, Explore Award or a Scouting Permit are available on the following dates:

  • 15-16 June 2024. This course is now aimed at Explorers, rather than adults.

One-off Sessions

On demand we organise adult one off sessions, for example fairy light Girlguiding leader night paddles, or summer evening adult SUP taster sessions. If you would like a session organised for adults in Scouting or Girlguiding, please enquire and we will try to match you with a suitable instructor. Charges are similar to youth taster sessions, but can be charged per person rather than per group to make organisation easier.
