Kids Winter Expedition

Paddlers Expedition

Kayak your socks off! 

We will be paddling approximately 9 km down the Barwon River in Geelong, from the Fyansford Common Boat Launch to Gundog Lane, stopping for lunch along the way (BYO lunch). 

You will learn on water navigation how to paddle as a team and how to lead sections of the river.  This is a great opportunity for anyone working on their level 2 AusPaddle certificate to earn their expedition component but is suitable for any person aged 8 - 16 who has kayaked before.
