-->The Canoe Sports Trust is hosting two Government funded Watersports Summer Camps for young people aged 11 to 16 years, living in Hertfordshire that are FSM entitled. Our second and final Herts 4 day camp takes place on 26th to 29th August 2024.
HAPpy Camps are all about providing access to fun activities during the school holidays for young people entitled to free school meals, with activities and a hot meal included. The course is sponsored by Hertfordshire County Council.
Participants can expect a range of paddlesports that include Sit on Tops and Kayaks, single and twin hulled Canoes, SUPs and fun on the Mega SUP. Most activities are conducted on a spring fed freshwater lake and we also do a journey along the Grand Union Canal.
Included on this course is an opportunity to learn some basic cooking that will include preparing ingredients and cooking (under close supervision) your own hot meal on the final day of the course.
Each course is limited to 24 young people, with bookings managed on a strictly first come first served basis. When all places are booked, we will record a further 6 names that will go on our reserves list before declaring the course full. When a course is full we shall alter the information on this page to say so by declaring it FULL in the title.
Please note that due to the nature of the activity, each participant will need to be water confident and be able to swim 25 meters should the need to do so arise.
Not before funding is confirmed, will you be able to book on to this course. If you are entitled to free school meals, you will recieve an email from Hertfordshire County Council, who will supply you a HAPpy reference number and will be advised that places can be now booked.
When the time comes to book your place, please complete the bookings section below. You will be required to provide your name, your HAPpy number, your parent/guardian name, an email address and a contact telephone or mobile number.
Joining instructions will be supplied to the email address provided on our around the end of July. An Online form will need to be completed along with a parent/guardian consent form which needs to be returned to us by email by the 12th of August (two weeks before the course start date).
You will forfeit your course place if you fail to return your consent form by the 12th of August, with you place being offered to the next name on the reserves list. Should you be unable at any time to attend the course, please let us know so we can then offer your place to someone on the reserves list.
Experience has taught us that some young people attending the first course will also want to attend the second course. All reserves will be given first refusal before places are offfered to those who attended the first course.
