Welcome to Salford Watersports Centre’s Multi Activity Week! Designed for youths aged 8-16 years, this action-packed program immerses participants in a world of exciting watersports and engaging activities over 5 mornings or afternoons.

We have two courses available, one aimed at 8-11yrs and the other aimed at older children aged 12-16yrs.

Course Highlights

  • Exciting Watersports: Over the course of five fun-filled mornings, participants will enjoy a variety of watersports activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and raft building.
  • Skill Development: Our expert instructors will guide participants in mastering new skills, building confidence, and embracing the thrill of being on the water.
  • Water Safety: In addition to watersports, one dedicated session focuses on water safety and lifesaving skills. Participants will learn valuable techniques and protocols to ensure their safety in and around the water.

My granddaughter said it was the best summer camp she has ever been to and she has been to many! Fabulous experience and tried a wide range of water sports. Brilliant!
