Sometimes we SUP and sometimes we kayak - we always have fun.
During these fun-packed sessions children will be either paddle boarding or kayaking. The main aim is to improve paddling skills, learn about our island, improve water confidence, make lots of friends and of course, have a huge amount of fun!*All activities are subject to weather conditions. On a bad weather day when it is not safe to be out on the water, the kids club will still go ahead but with onshore activities. These can range from water games and challenges for prizes to a scavenger hunt around our local surroundings. During these fun-packed sessions children will be either paddle boarding or kayaking.
