School Groups
Cremorne has several long term development projects running with
local schools to build kayaking into their physical education
curriculum, up to and including GCSE level.
New school groups are welcome to come along for a taster session,
or get involved with the Inspire 2012 or Amigo projects detailed
below. Sessions on and off the water can be tailored to enhance
current learning at school, for example the water cycle.
Future Paddling Project
The future paddling project aims to inspire young people to
participate actively in paddlesports in their local environment.
The project consists of a three hour session, designed to
accommodate school classes of up to 30 young people. Half the
session takes place on the tidal Thames; challenging participants
to work together and develop their personal skills, and the second
half of the session in Cremorne Gardens completing specially
designed interactive worksheets which link into local history and
paddlesports.
Amigo Project
The Amigo project is designed for groups of up to eight
selected young people to address behavioural and communication
skill shortfalls. The programme consists of six sessions on the
Thames, placing participants in situations where they need to use
personal kayaking skills alongside teamwork and communication
skills.
