Canoe Sports Trust
A summary
ABOUT US
The Canoe Sports Trust is based at Rickmansworth Aquadrome and provides adventure days that allow young people to have fun and become familiar with water craft in a safe environment supervised by qualified instructors.
A DAY WITH US
We are based at Rickmansworth Aquadrome where there is free parking. You then take a short walk to the Canoe Centre where you will be met by our Base Supervisor and checked in.
Each day starts with warm up games to get participants acquainted with each other and their instructors.
We will then split into groups to take part in supervised sessions involving:
• Kayaks
• Paddleboards
• Raft building
• Canoes
• Coracles
• Dragon Boats
We have morning sessions and afternoon sessions with breaks for midmorning refreshments and lunch.
The day finishes at 4pm when parents/guardians will collect participants and our Base Supervisor will then check them out.
OUR STAFF
Canoe Sport Trust is an AALA approved Paddlesport provider, this means our processes and methods of delivery have been assessed by the Health and Safety executive to provide you an assurance that we know what we are doing. All activity is delegated by L3 Coaches to L1 qualified Paddlesport Instructors who have been assessed to lead and supervise paddlesport activities on inland waters such as lakes and canals.
All instructors have safety and rescue training, maintain their first aid qualifications and have undergone safeguarding training.
SUITABLE FOR
• Paddlesport camps are suitable for children who do not need specialist SEND support.
• Children should be water confident and be able to swim 25 meters. It is mandatory for everyone near or on the water to wear a buoyancy aid. Wetsuits will be provided if the day is a bit chilly.
• These camps are fully funded for children who receive benefit-related free school meals.

DIRECTIONS
• We are based at Rickmansworth Aquadrome. Post Code WD3 1NB
• There is free parking at the Aquadrome (and a café)
• As you leave the car park and head towards the café turn left and you will see the BLYM Sailing Club entrance at the end of the road. Follow the path past that entrance and the Canoe Sports Trust is on your right.
KIT LIST
• You will get wet so a change of clothes is required; normal recommended attire is a sports top like a football shirt and nylon or polyester short. Cotton trackies and hooded tops are inappropriate and become very heavy when wet impeding your ability to swim.
• Water shoes are a site requirement and if you don’t have these, old trainers will suffice.
• As this is an all day visit you should consider multiple changes of clothing which will ensure you have something dry to change in to, should the need arise.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
