Other useful information

Session times are for up to 3 hours.  If your child/ren find this too long, they can take part for as long as they are able.

Your instructor decides on the activities for the day in discussion with you.  They will ensure they are appropriate for the needs of your family group.  All activities are subject to availability.

Please remember that you must supervise your child/ren. Each booking needs at least 2 adults. Supervision is key on the canal boat because your skipper will be focused on steering.

Please bring your own water bottles that you can refill on-site.  For canal boat bookings, please bring your own packed lunch.

All centres are dog-free and nut-free.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family!
