Junior Beginners
Paddling is a wonderful way for young people to meet new friends, keep fit and healthy, and have fun! At Richmond Canoe Club, we have a range of courses and sessions available for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced racers competeing at international and world class level.
All our beginners have the opportunity to try canoeing and kayaking and join our beginner groups (subject to availability).
