Our sessions begin with land safety instructions, covering paddle usage and fitting buoyancy aids, before venturing onto the water. Beginners learn basic vessel control, culminating in a friendly mini race or game, while intermediate groups delve into advanced techniques, water confidence, rescue skills, and safety leadership.

Paddleboarding: Stand tall on paddleboards as you glide across the water's surface, propelled by your own strength. Our paddleboarding sessions offer a unique blend of balance, coordination, and outdoor fun, suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Sailing: Harness the power of the wind and embark on a sailing adventure with our experienced instructors. Learn the art of navigation, sail handling, and teamwork as you maneuver through the waves, experiencing the thrill of sailing firsthand.
Raft Building: Team up with your classmates to construct sturdy rafts capable of navigating the waterways. Learn essential knot-tying techniques, communication skills, and problem-solving strategies as you work together to design and build your raft. Test the success of your creation as you embark on a voyage across the water, putting your teamwork and engineering skills to the ultimate test.

All of our instructors are experienced with SEN students and we welcome all students for our school trips and residentials.
If you require something to be in place more long term we also have our Social Development programme for both mainstream and SEN students who struggle to engage full time in a mainstream education setting to refocus and develop in the great outdoors.
We believe that all students, regardless of their abilities or challenges, deserve the opportunity to participate fully. Thats why we meticulously plan and adapt our activities to ensure that every student is included and can thrive in our programs. Our instructors undergo specialised training and boast extensive experience in working with students with special educational needs. Moreover, we are committed to providing development programs specifically tailored for SEND students, focusing on alternative provision education to foster emotional, social, and personal growth.
