 This is a maximum group size of 8 - If it proves popular we will add more sessions. 

Activities will include various on water challenges such as racing, follow the leader, time trials, ball play and just lots of fun but with safety in mind. 
These are real confidence builders and whilst enjoying the fun they will also learn paddling techniques and basic safety skills.
