2020 Summer Youth Activity Weeks

Due to COVID-19 and lockdown measures, we are having to change the way in which activities can be run at the Centre during the present time.
So, unfortunately, this year’s Youth Summer Programme will not operate as it usually has in previous years and will be reformatted so we can still accommodate as many people as possible whilst maintaining a safe environment for all concerned.
We are having to shorten the usual 1000 – 1530 timings due to restricting the number of people we have on-site at one time. So rather than a full day’s activity, it will now consist of a half-day. We understand that this is not ideal for everyone, but given the circumstances, we are trying to work to the best of our ability. We have however extended the week from 4 days to 5.

This year you can pick which activity suits your child, we have kayaking in the morning and sailing in the afternoon, unfortunately no windsurfing is available. Children can work towards achieving BC & RYA certificates, respectively, giving structure and allowing kids to progress and work through the syllabus at their own rate, having lots of fun along the way.

More Information

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no access to changing rooms, all children should come changed ready for their activity. We are unable to provide wetsuits as we usually would. If you feel your child would benefit from having one your best bet is to head to Decathlon in Surrey Quays.

You will need to bring a change of clothes, towel and suitable footwear (closed toe).

All children will be provided with a buoyancy aid and all equipment.

Booking

All bookings will only be taken online, no phone or in-person booking is possible.

All bookings are subject to our Course Booking Terms & Conditions.
