Whoosh Explore Family paddling sessions are all about getting out, paddling and having fun together on the River Stort. We have a wide range of boats suitable for family paddling and offer canoes and kayaks suitable for your family.
Paddling with Small children
For younger paddlers we recommend going on a short first adventure, we have clip in seats and mini paddles for little paddlers, ideal for kids to play with and gain confidence whilst developing paddling skills.
Aim to have wipes, snacks and a drink as little paddlers will find that they get hungry or thirsty in the boat when starting out on their first adventure.
Our family paddling sessions are bespoke sessions to the requirement of your group, lead by qualified coaches with extensive experience of paddling with families. Its reassuring to have someone watching out for you on a family outing.
our family paddling sessions are designed so that you can undertake a there and back paddle and typically Sessions typically last about 2 – 2.5 hours.
Paddling with children – over 9s
Older paddlers will tend to want to be in single kayaks –
these are stable single person boats and are easy to paddle by older children over 9 years old.
We normally are able to get our young paddlers to try them out when we have spare boats available near the end of a session if kid want to try out their own boat for the first time.
During paddling sessions Adults must accompany children under 9 at all times whilst undertaking activities.
