Availability
Sessions run on Saturdays and Sundays from June and some weekdays are also available during school holidays. Please note that the some venues require booking requests be made several weeks in advance.

Participant Guidelines
Minimum age is 8 and maximum is 13. Those who are aged 14 or over are eligible for adult kayaking (see experience code LBCKC).

Weather
Kayaking will go ahead in most conditions. For your own safety, on rare flood conditions may lead to postponement - the venue will contact you if ever a session is postponed.

Duration
Sessions last for three hours including a toilet and refreshment break (soft drink or ice cream). To ensure a very prompt start, please make sure to arrive a few minutes in advance of your start time and allow yourself time at the centre afterwards to shower and change.

Numbers On Day
There is a student to tutor ratio of 8:1 and you will be in your very own kayak.

Spectators are welcome and can hire boats in the main season to go out on the river. There safety remains their own responsibility at all times. Cover and toilet facilities are always available and a restaurant is located in the park overlooking the river.
