What age can they start?
Most of our junior courses and holiday camps start from around age 8. The RYA Youth Sailing Scheme usually starts around the same age, and RYA Level 1 Start Powerboating is open from 8.
Why the lake
It’s enclosed by a sea wall and shallow, with no tide, swell or boat traffic. Every session is run by qualified instructors, on the water with the children.
What to pack
- Swimwear and a towel
- Shoes that can get wet
- A warm layer for afterwards
- A packed lunch for camp days
- A water bottle
Wetsuits, buoyancy aids, boats and boards are all included.
Certificates
RYA youth courses finish with an RYA certificate and a logbook entry your child can take to any RYA centre.
