Explorer Paddle Board Session - 24 paddlers
Standing up, falling down, getting up, paddling on! Learning paddling is a skill for life.
Our Explorer sessions are a great opportunity for your young people to socialise whilst learning a new skill.
During the session, your young people will paddle the waterways in paddle boards completing some challenges, learning watersafety and having some fun.
Once they have been kayaking, we will jump aboard our super XL paddle boards for some team challenges and activities to get everyone used to the water.
A fantastic opportunity for participating leaders to dunk their favourite explorers.
