Holiday Activities Henley Trip Day

Our holiday activity sessions are complemented by our trip to Henley on a Friday, we recommend that participants have paddled with us before and are prepared for the journey.

Suitable for ages 8 - 17 years old however for younger children they will complete their trip in a crew boat. Any questions regarding this please call us or send us an email.

1. The participant should be comfortable on and around the water, please let us know if you have any concerns surrounding this.
2. The participant should be able to partake in physical activity for this period of time, please check with your doctor or call us with any concerns.

1. Participants should bring a packed lunch, water bottle and weather appropriate items (i.e. coat, hat, sun cream etc).
2. Please note a change of clothes cannot be taken with us and should be brought to the collection point at the end of the day instead.

Please ensure that each participant has clothes appropriate to the weather including:

1. Footwear - Old trainers/wet boots - that you don’t mind getting wet (not flip-flops or wellington boots)
2. Lightweight trousers or shorts
3. T-shirt / Long sleeved garment

The drop-off time is the same at 09:00 with the aim of being on the water by 09:30. Please bring a packed lunch, we will store this in a big dry bag with one of the instructors. The trip will arrive in Henley between 15:30 and 16:00, we ask that you pick up your children in Henley between these times at Henley Sea Cadets Wargrave Rd, Henley-on-Thames RG9 2LX.

The trip to Henley is 7 miles long and will take the full day of paddling. There will be several breaks through the trip for opportunities to take a small rest and have a lunch break, however the trip can be challenging. If you do have any concerns about the trip and your child's ability to cope with a full day paddling in the sun, please give us a call so we can discuss this.
