Silver Canoeing Expedition:

Silver Canoeing Group:

Exped co ordinator is Kate ap Harri.
Students need to show a commitment to getting fit and training for their expedition. All students agreed to do this.
All students will need to do the level 2 star canoeing qualification and pass. This will start early spring and take place on a weekend over a course of a few weeks, length of which is unknown at this time. Currently this course is free of charge however this may change? Students all agreed to commit to this.
At present we do not have enough canoes, however we are looking into getting 9 through contacts we have. If we can get 9 canoes then all 3 groups can do their exped on the same weekend.If not then canoeing expeds may need to take place in the holidays.
There may be costs incurred for personal use such as dry bags, clothing etc but these should be minimal. Students agreed to this.
Sea cadets should be able to loan helmets? again not 100% sure yet.
KAP will communicate with students through school email and google classroom. Students have agreed to this and will regularly check.
KAP will communicate general info through the school website with parents and basecamp with staff.
If at any point KAP or crew leaders think a group can no longer continue with canoeing the group will have to change to hiking.
ALL STUDENTS MUST BE COMPETENT SWIMMERS!!
Exped dates will be set when we know how many canoes we have and when training ends.
The canoeing expeditions are dependant on the above all coming together.
Many thanks

Kate
