Paddle for Life Scheme

Apart from just being good old fashioned fun, making a paddle involves a number of skills including design, maths and using tools. We can visit your school to assist in the production of the paddles and provide all the equipment.

Once made, the paddle is a memorable keepsake that can also be used for undertaking a fun journey in a 6 person Katakanu. You can learn about the wildlife, history, transport and geography on the river Thames and the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Social skills, working together and appreciating the strengths and weaknesses of others are also valuable lessons learnt whilst taking part in this activity.
