Kids Saturday Club
Kick off the weekend with 2 hours on the water
It’s like a mini version of the Surfdock summer camp, but instead of our week-long course, we run an action packed paddleboarding and kayaking session on Saturday mornings.
This is a great outdoor activity for kids that you can book as a once off or book in for multiple sessions.
No membership or experience required, we teach everything from the ground up. Participants need to be able to swim.

What our Kids Saturday Session is about
Build water confidence
Spend time on the water in the safe surroundings of the Grand Canal Dock. Learn to SUP and kayak with our qualified instructors.
Learning without performance pressure
