The Idea
To provide a weeks intensive coaching from world-class performers and coaches to promising
young paddlers from the UK. A variety of disciplines will be delivered, white water, kayak
freestyle, surf and sea and traditional canoeing.
Key Facts
• 20 boys and girls aged between 11 and 16 years old.
• Residential from Monday to Friday (4 nights accommodation)
• Five days of skills input.
• Delivered by BCU Level 5 coaches and world class paddlers.
• Development positions for school teachers who are already paddlers.
• Selection will be made will be via written application.
• Places will be subsidised provided funds can be obtained.
• The event is being supported by Pyranha and Venture Canoes.
Date
Monday 20th- Friday 24th July, 2009
Venue
Based in North Yorkshire with access to beautiful coastline, surfing beaches, river play spots
and deep-water lakes.
Student cost
This has yet to be established. Various funding options are being considered and applied for.
We hope to make this unique opportunity within the financial means of most, but at the
moment, with no funding, we estimate the cost to be around £500.00 for the five days. This
will include the cost of accommodation, travel and coaching. We do hope to reduce this cost
significantly.
Teacher cost
You will pay your way! Evening supervision will fall to the teachers. In return they will get the
opportunity to observe, work with and be coached by the session leaders.
How to apply
It’s still early days. To register your interest as a young paddler or a teacher, please email:

We will not hold anybody to any commitment yet, we just need to get a feel for numbers. Very
soon we will send you an application pack along with a clearer idea of the programme, staffing
and actual cost. |
