Canoeing

Canoeing in the centre's open boats is an activity that almost every group can enjoy, whatever their ability. We have access to a number of venues - lakes, rivers and estuaries - from which we can choose one suitable for the group and prevailing weather conditions.

Canoeing encourages people to work together, not only in terms of paddling in a straight line, but also other aspects such as loading and unloading the trailer, and sorting out the kit afterwards. We sometimes raft two canoes together, which means more people having to co-operate to get where they want to go, and also creates a more stable craft for a less able group.
