About
Paddlesports and Art Week - a small group, fun course with plenty of different adventurous paddle-sport sessions throughout the week with nature art activities included each day.
Monday 17th to Friday 21st July, 9:30am-3pm. Broadmeadow, Enniskillen. AGE 7-11yrs
Nature art fits well with our club health and wellbeing and "Take 5" ethos as it is naturally provides opportunity for self-expression and communication of ideas and emotions. This week will provide the opportunity for children to learn new arts and craft skills through the exploration of a range of natural materials, and in the company and friendship of a peer group. Facilitated by a professional art therapist.
Paddlesports activities, with coaching and learning through fun "games with aims", led by our friendly, experienced and qualified coaches who have a genuine passion for canoeing, outdoor education and child development. Outdoor activities are where kids have some of the best formative experiences of their young lives, learning while having fun and making new friends.
No previous paddling experience is required. These courses are great for water confidence and no swimming ability is required. Our coaches will always be in direct supervision of the activities and buoyancy aids will be properly fitted and checked for all participants.
