Group 1 - "Bumble" - 10 Spaces Available 9:45am to 10:30am
This group is aimed at beginners, with FUN being a big part of the activity. Instructors will encourage children to splash, fall in, crawl over boats, and spend as much time upside down as possible. Young paddlers will be encouraged to gain confidence in the boat, in the effort to progress them to wearing a Spraydeck. This piece of equipment resembles a skirt, and is used to keep water out of the boat when upside down. Mastering the Spraydeck is a key moment in a paddlers career. Paddlers must prove they can wear the Spraydeck and use it proficiently before moving up to next Group.
