Hillingdon HAF Paddlesports Camp – Week 1 (631)

The Canoe Sports Trust is hosting two Government funded paddlesports camps for young people aged 11 to 16 years living in the London Borough of Hillingdon catchment that are FSM entitled. Our first 3 day camp of the year runs during week 1 of the Easter school holidays from 31st March to 2nd of April 2026.

HAF 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 meal included. The course is sponsored by Hillingdon Council.

Participants can expect a range of paddlesports that include Dragon Boating, Sit on Top Kayaks, Coracles, Stand up paddle boards and Rafting. Most activities are conducted on a spring fed freshwater lake, we also do a journey in canoes along the Grand Union Canal.

Each course is limited to 18 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. Wetsuits will be provided if there is a risk of falling in, full joining instructions will be provided following your application.

Funding needs to be confirmed before you will be able to book on this course.

If you are entitled to free school meals, you will recieve an email from Hillingdon Council, providing your HAF number and will be advised that places can be now booked.

When the time comes to book your place, please complete the booking section below. You will be required to provide your name, your HAF number, your parent/guardian name, an email address and a contact telephone or mobile number, dietry information and some waivers.

Joining instructions will be supplied to the email address provided as soon as the course is full which will probably be before the start of March.

Should you be successful in obtaining a place but then subsequentally be unable to attend, please let us know so we can 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.

Booking is currently closed pending funding confirmation.
