Friday Afternoon Activities Program

Kayaking

Kayaking is a fantastic activity year-round in Perth , but a difficult sport in which to get started if you tackle it without proper training and technique .
Kayaking offers an excellent option for recreation , combined with a lifetime of potential for learning and personal development .
This activity will cater to a variety of learners — beginners to more experienced . For beginners you will learn the basics of how to use items of paddling equipment , safe entry and exit of your craft , forward paddling , easy turning strokes and essential balance and safety skills . For more advanced paddlers , you will learn useful turning and support strokes , along with the possibility of mutual rescue and safety skills . The emphasis is on an enjoyable paddling experience .
A final ‘ expedition ’ for the end of term is planned for your enjoyment . Equipment is supplied .
