The ‘Kids Academy’ was founded in 2011, to help upskill and encourage future whitewater kayakers. We couldn’t have put it better than our title sponsor Palm Equipment “The Cardiff Kids’ Academy aims to inspire and push on the new generation of paddlers, offering… the chance to go from complete beginner to whitewater hero”. 

We offer a trips to a wide range of abilities, destinations and lengths. The limitations really do lie at the end of our incredible instrutors imagination. We have more information available on the Kids Academy webpage. You don’t have to go through the whole process with us, we welcome new faces just as warmly as returning rippers.

We love to help push everyone to progress and experience new environments as much as possible but please be honest when booking these trips so the whole group can progress the most as a group and as individuals. If you’re not sure if you're booking the right trip please get in contact and we can help you make the best decision for you. 

We work our trips dynamically from the get-go, from choice of coaches, venue and coaching lessons are adapted to the group and conditions to maximise learning and enjoyment. We accept 10-17 years old's who are looking to get some top coaching, challenge themselves and make friends on the water!

Due to the nature of water levels in the UK a river will be chosen in the week leading up to the trip, everybody booked on the trip will be contacted with a meet time and river to be paddled, also any special requirements or kit needed for the day. Times for the trip may vary depending on the location and length of the trip. Accommodation and transport are always included, and food is included on our week-long trips*.

*We aim to eat at a local restaurant on the last day of the trip, snacks and extras are not included.
