We are pleased to offer a children's Paddle UK Start Award for 8-15 years at Upton Warren and Lower Moor.
Experience your first session on the water; learning useful skills for an enjoyable paddling experience. It aims to provide you with the basic knowledge to enable you to safely get in and out of your boat, make it move and return to your start point. This is your first step into the world of paddling, ensuring you feel safe, confident and ready to progress to the Discover Award.
There are a wide range of options for future experiences. Aztec Adventure can help you to develop your skills and learn more about the choices available.
This course is for children aged 8-15 years who want to learn how to get started on the water. You don’t need any previous experience to take your Paddle Start Award, just the desire for fun! You can take the award in any craft, from kayaks, canoes and SUPs.
All activity equipment and tuition is provided by our trained and DBS checked instructors.
The course starts at 9:30am and finishes at 4pm.
Any participants aged under 18 years old must have a Waiver: General Form of Disclaimer completed by an authorised adult.
