The Kayaking Club aims to introduce boys to basic kayaking skills, and then allows them to specialise in white water, racing or sea kayaking. Our Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Expeditions in kayaks are undertaken on the sea. Trips are arranged to various parts of the UK and overseas. Boys may take the star awards of the British Canoe Union, and can be assessed for these awards during training at school.
Boys must undertake an introductory course before being able to paddle in small groups on their own. Boys must provide themselves with a canoeing cagoule to wear on the water.
