Join us at Richmond Canoe Club for five days of paddling, adventure, and fun on the Thames. Designed for young people aged 10 to 15, our Junior Paddle Camps are the perfect way to get off screens, make new friends, and build real confidence on the water, whether you've never picked up a paddle or you're already eyeing a racing kayak.

​

Led by certified British Canoeing coaches, each day is structured to keep things active, social, and enjoyable, with time outdoors at the heart of everything. Activities include kayaking, canoeing, and bell boating, along with mini races, river adventures, jumping in (buoyancy aids provided), and riverside picnics.

​

What to pack

Bring non-cotton sportswear suitable for getting wet: two thermal tops, two pairs of thermal leggings or tracksuits, and plenty of spare clothes. We may be on and off the water twice a day, so layers to stay warm between sessions are essential. Please also bring a packed lunch with plenty of water and snacks for riverside refuelling stops.
