​Canoeing and Kayaking

At Paddle West we are passionate about canoeing. We have a fleet of traditional Prospector style canoes that happily take 3 students. We can also raft the boats together to make catamaran style craft. This makes the boats almost uncapsizable and can be paddled by teams of 8. 

We can provide sessions in a single location, where students can learn skills and take part in games and exercises to build confidence, team building and have fun! We can also use the craft to go on a half day or full day journey along the Cleddau Estuary. This can be a great way to learn about the wildlife and history on our doorstep.

Raft Building

Work as a team to design and build your own raft! This is an excellent activity for students to hone their communication and cooperation abilities. Some thrive on the the excitement of getting on the water, others overcome fears to get onboard, but all learn the importance of working together to succeed.

Rowing

Our fleet of rowing boats on Castle Pond, Pembroke are a great way of introducing young people to water activities in incredibly stable craft. Learning the skill of rowing the boats alone or working as a crew, this is a fantastic way of getting your young people active with the stunning backdrop of Pembroke Castle. Why not combine this with a trip to the Castle itself? 

Archery 

Archery is an excellent activity for focusing the mind and building physical awareness and confidence. We can bring archery to a field or hall near you.

Team Building and Initiative Exercises

Paddle West can lay on a range of tasks and challenges for your young people, designed to push their team work and reasoning skills. We can bring these activities in to your school or club.

Bush Craft and Woodland Activities

A real opportunity for students to interact with the natural world around them. From fire lighting and shelter building to woodland art and wide games - everyone loves being in the woods!


We can also work with our partner organisations to provide an even greater range of activities to your school. Get in touch to see what we can do for your students.
