AusPaddlers 2024 Term 2

AusPaddlers Kids Paddle Club Term 2

Join AusPaddlers Geelong's Kids Kayaking Club, brought to you by Outside Adventures, for an exciting term of on-water fun in Geelong! Our club focuses on developing canoeing, kayaking, and water rescue skills while fostering a strong sense of teamwork and looking out for our fellow paddlers. As participants improve their skills, they will also have the opportunity to go on exciting expeditions, experience thrilling night paddles, and explore various water bodies including lakes, rivers, oceans, and moving water. So come and join us for an unforgettable adventure.

Get ready to have heaps of on the water fun! 

In term 2 we have two different kids classes depending on age and skill level:

Tuesdays: 4:15 - 5:45 pm Intermediate and Advanced, Ages 10 - 18 (please note you must have passed an assessment to join this group).

Thursday: 4:15 - 5:45 pm Beginners and Improvers Ages 8 - 16 (7 year olds who have previously attended our minis program are also welcome). 

Each class runs for the whole of term 2 except for days when the conditions make it unsafe to paddle (please note that we do our best to give you advanced warning when we can't paddle, but due to the nature of weather sometimes this is not possible). 

Outside Adventures provides all paddling equipment including canoes and kayaks, paddles and PFDs (life jackets) for use during each session.  Paddlers need to wear clothing appropriate to the weather conditions and bring a full change of clothes, any personal medication, and a water bottle.

​

All AusPaddler term time kayaking classes are run in the Geelong area. Depending on the water and weather conditions and the skills the paddlers are working towards the classes may be held at any of the following locations; 

West Fyans Street Boat Ramp - Barwon River

Fyansford Common - Moorabool River

Fyansford Baums Weir - Barwon River

St Helens Boat Ramp - Corio Bay 

Buckley Falls Road - Barwon River 

All locations have places to park and all except Baums Weir and Buckley Falls Road have toilets and places to change. You will be given as much advanced notice as possible as to which location we will be using each week.
