Our exciting and action-packed activity is aimed at children aged 9-16 who want to spend time on the water in the school holidays and experience a range of activities.

Activities may include: paddleboarding, kayaking, canoe rafting, mega paddlebaords, climbing wall, Jacobs ladder, leap of faith, archery, team building games, land-based challenges and so much more! We will be running activities no matter the weather - so please make sure your young person is prepared to go on the water and remain land-based. We provide wetsuits, spray tops/trousers and buoyancy aids, which will help keep your young person warm and comfortable. Don't forget, we provide a hot lunch and fresh fruit snacks!

Please also bring with you a towel, a drinks bottle, suncream and some extra weather appropriate clothing. All participants will need a spare pair of closed toe shoes as one pair will get wet. These could be old trainers or similar and don't need to be specialist wetsuit shoes. If you have your own watersports clothing or equipment you are welcome to bring and use that.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

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.
