Kayaking Courses


For those that are interested in learning or furthering their knowledge of Kayaking, we have a number of courses available.

Courses include:

BCU 1* Canoe/Kayak - 1 day
If you dream of hitting the rapids but have never picked up a paddle, our new BCU 1* award is an ideal introduction for the complete novice.  In just one day, you will learn the basic strokes and techniques needed to safely control kayaks and open canoes.

BCU 2* Canoe Kayak - 2 days
This course is designed for people who have grasped the basic techniques of kayaking/canoeing and would like to improve their skills.  Before attending you must prove paddling experience in at least 2 different craft, in 2 different locations and will have completed 2 journeys of at least 2 hours in duration.  The course will improve boat control, using more advanced flat water strokes, teach new safety techniques and give an insight into trip planning and organisation.  The course concludes with an assessed river trip, jointly planned by all the participants.

During this 6 week course work towards Paddle Power Passport (equivalent to BCU 1 star) and Paddle Power Discovery (equivalant to BCU 2 star) using kayaks and open canoes.
