Kayaking and canoeing
At Just Add Adventure we offer coaching in kayaks and canoes to the highest standard with up-to-date equipment. We can offer a range of British Canoe Union courses as well as tailor made sessions dedicated to improving skills or splash sessions, where as the name suggests there is plenty of opportunities to get wet while picking up a few skills.
We deliver a wide range of courses from the BCU scheme:
BCU Paddlepower Scheme – Paddlepower Start, Discover, Explore and Excel
Paddlepower is an exciting scheme that has been designed to meet the needs of young people. It’s colourful and youth centred approach aims to:
-
Be fun
-
Provide progression and reward achievement in a wide range of topics
-
Encourage more young people to come into and stay in the sport
-
Show them all aspects of the sport – both competitive and adventurous
BCU 1 Star Training and Assessment – this is usually delivered in 2 hour sessions over a six week period. The course is designed for complete beginners and delivers the foundation skills required to give the paddler a basic level of confidence in both a kayak and canoe.
BCU 2 Star Training and Assessment – this is usually delivered in 2 hour sessions over a six week period and is designed for those that have completed their BCU 1 Star award or have previous experience paddling. This is an improvement award that helps paddlers develop fundamental paddlesport skills on flat water. The emphasis is on gaining a breadth of experience, creating the desired movement of the boat and developing an understanding into how the paddle, boat and water interact. Assessment may be arranged separately for those who do not need to undertake the training.
BCU 3 Star Training and Assessment - Successful performance at BCU 3 Star level indicates that a candidate can consider themselves an intermediate paddler rather than a beginner. The 3 Star paddler will be a competent performer in sheltered to moderate water environments and have the ability to paddle unsupervised, with similar standard paddlers on sheltered water. Training and assessment are usually taken separately to allow the candidate to consolidate their performance.
You can also choose from one of our tailored packages whether it’s a one to one coaching session to progress your skills, a river trip down a placid waterway taking in the scenery, a white water river trip or an Expedition over several days, we can provide what you’re looking for at a competitive price.
