Edinburgh Schools Kayak Club was set up in 2011 to increase participation at grassroots level and create opportunities for young people to progress in paddle sport.
The club aims to create a pathway for paddlers to become involved in kayaking and canoeing with an emphasis on the Olympic disciplines of Canoe Slalom and Flat water racing. There are also opportunities for river trips and recreational paddling as well as leadership roles allowing young people the opportunity to gain valuable coaching qualifications that can help with CVs, college and university applications and progression to coaching roles at the Club and beyond.
THE SUMMER CAMP IS NOW OPEN FOR BOOKINGS
The Edinburgh Schools Kayak Club is now open for bookings for the summer camp. The camp is exceptionally popular and sessions are booked up very quickly. Please do not delay booking if you require specific dates or if your child is attending with a friend (we have a max of 12 in each class).

*Even though all paddlers will be wearing a buoyancy aid on the water, we recommend that they can swim a minimum of 25 meters unaided to attend ESKC paddling courses!
