ADVANCED CHILDREN’S KAYAK COURSE SERRE CHEVALIER – BRIANCON

The main objective of this kayak course in Serre Chevalier is to allow children/teenagers to have fun while discovering the joys of
kayaking and acquiring the basic techniques necessary to progress in complete safety.
Throughout the course, the focus is on fun and self-confidence, rather than achieving
specific goals or objectives. Our instructors strive to create a
supportive and encouraging environment where students can learn at their own pace and feel
comfortable taking risks and trying new things. The course is led by
our experienced and qualified instructors who know how to work with children, teenagers and offer
a safe and enjoyable learning experience for all participants.
