Canoes Plus have kayak lessons specifically for kids.

How does it work? first you would take a lessons which starts at the beginning. Kids learn to paddle in a straight line, how to turn, how to lean the kayak and much more. All lessons are in kayaks fitted to kids.

Do the kids take the lesson by themselves? Kids can take the lessons by themselves or they can come with parents or guardians. We have a lot of people take lessons together as a way to spend time doing different things with their kids. Lessons are at Westerfolds Park in Templestowe/

If my kids like paddling, what is the next step? We have a kayak club which caters for kids, or kids along with parents, or just parents. We cater to all ages, and offer paddling sessions every week. It is a bit like doing football, or netball during term. Our specific kids paddling sessions are either saturday or sunday, but if they really like kayaking, they are able to come more than once a week.

Can we join the club straight away? you need to take a lesson or maybe even 2 lessons first, to make sure that your child has the proper grounding in paddling technique and also some confidence in paddling. Taking a lesson ensures that your child has intensive instruction and attention to detail. Our club sessions are larger group sessions, and every session in coached. However, the attention to detail for every participant is not as intensive in this group coached setting.

What is the cost? A lesson costs $180, while a private lesson is $220. Term group Coaching is $220

How do I book? FIrst book a beginner session to learn to paddle - Beginner kayak sessions or a private lesson
