Learn to Kayak in 2026

Learn to Kayak with Herts Canoe Club. Our Beginners Kayaking Courses take place over four sessions on consecutive Sundays within a month. Courses are open to everyone aged over 11.

Dates:

April 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
May 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
July 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
September 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th

Bookings close seven days before the start of each course. However, places are limited and fill up very quickly; we therefore recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

With guidance from our club coaches, you will learn boat control on moving water, various paddle strokes, capsize drills, and all important skills to keep you safe whilst enjoying the water. 

The club is incredibly fortunate to be in the vicinity of both beautiful stretches of river and several weirs. This means you will be able to learn to paddle on flat water, and develop your skills on a variety of moving water and weirs - perfect if you want to get that adrenaline pumping!
