How it works:
You can use your own boat and water sports clothes, but we do have a limited supply for loan, subject to availability
Each Junior needs to be a member of the club (full or provisional membership).
Parent, guardian, or in-loco parentis, must be on site to supervise your Junior at all times.
Everyone helps!
The week is kindly supported by volunteers who coach, helm and crew safety boats, organise and clean up. Please let us know if you have RYA qualifications and can help on the water!
Each parent will help for one whole day in the galley (morning preparing food, cooking, serving and finish after evening meal cleaned away), for each of their Juniors.
Costs and the sign-up form will be available soon.
Sign-up to the 2025 Junior Week today!
