Beaver Paddlesport Session - 18 Paddlers
Get 18 beavers out on the water paddle boarding and canoeing!
Building on our Squirrel sessions, we offer an entry level experience for those aged between 6-8.
This session has been tried and tested with a wide range of different Beaver Colonies.
During the session, your young people will paddle the waterways in canoes completing some challenges, learning watersafety and having some fun.
Once they have been canoeing, we will jump aboard our super XL paddle boards for some exciting games and activities to get everyone used to the water.

Do I need any experience?
Beavers do not need any prior experience but we do love a cheeky attitude!
Our friendly instructors will help breakdown any concerns involving the water and, thanks to our bouyancy aids, your young people do not need to be able to swim.
What would I need to bring?
A warm change of clothes
Something to wear on the water - this could just be shorts and t-shirt, as wetsuits are optional
A towel
A pair of shoes to wear in the water or you can hire a pair of ours (Shoes must be worn on the water)
What will my session look like?
Prior to your session, you will be given access to our risk assessments.
On arrival your young people are signed in and Permission Forms checked.
Following this they will be given a briefing on the below:
Overview of paddling equipment and components.
Water safety guidelines - including the importance of wearing a bouyancy aid.
Demonstrations of proper paddling techniques on dry land.
Explanation of how to mount and dismount the paddling equipment.
Then it's time for a game to warm us up and get everyone excited for paddling!
We'll jump on the water for some fun and games followed by team challenges on the XL boards.
Leaders are welcome to join in the fun as part of the ratios.
