“Go Canoeing” Beginner course 2014 Wednesday evenings June 4th-July 9th (inc)
Kayaking For Beginners!
There are many reasons why people have made kayaking the fastest growing sport. Outdoor enjoyment, healthy exercise, connecting with friends, solitude, fishing, challenge, adventure, a peaceful escape or just plain old FUN! – what’s your reason?
In the many years that Kingston Scouts Canoe Club have been running, we have enjoyed helping others get a good start. We always encourage them to learn a few of the important basics – you know, the “kayaking for beginners” stuff … before hitting the water. Why? Because you don’t want to learn them after hitting the water. Really!
This Course starts off with a full Safety brief, a detailed explaination on what to do ‘if’ you do go over and just a gentle warm up to get us in the mood.
We will be following the BCU (British Canoe Union) PaddlePower Scheme aiming to complete Levels 1 to 5 to give all scouts taking part a good grounding in canoeing and paddlesports.
