Intermediate Courses

Please remember, candidates need to be at BC Discover standard, at least.

The Explore course is aimed at people who are looking to progress their paddlesport skills.  We run British Canoeing Explore courses which takes your Discover award to the next level including learning to paddle a different craft. You will be encouraged to plan ahead and decide what kit and which type of craft is most suitable. You will be expected to contribute to the planning of the trip, plus contingencies to allow for bad weather, mishaps and escape routes. You will gain an understanding of the venue and how to access it. You should become confident in paddling your chosen craft independently in a sheltered water environment.
