Kayak Summer Camps (subject to some Covid 19 restrictions)
from Galway Kayak Club in association with The Commercial Boat Club Kayaking Section
We are now accepting bookings on our Kayaking Summer Camps. These are subject to some Covid 19 restrictions. Our courses are run by fully qualified Canoeing Ireland Instructors and will be run following Canoeing Ireland's Covid 19 guidelines.
For now, your child should arrive changed and ready for their course. Our changing rooms and showers are not currently available because of Corona virus restrictions. Please be available after the course to help your child change into their dry clothes.
In the event that the Covid 19 restrictions are reinstated before the date of your child's course then we will issue a full refund or, if you'd prefer it, the option of a course at a later date.
Our summer camps are open to kids and teenagers aged 10-17 who are able to swim a little.
The courses are packed with fun games that will cater to everyone. Your skills and water confidence develop while playing fun games and going on short local journeys.
The courses include:
- 5 x 3-hour sessions with experienced qualified instructors
- All kayaking gear provided during the course
- Canoeing Ireland Level 1 on course completion.
Location:
We will meet at The Commercial Boat Club in Woodquay.
There is parking on site.
The courses will be held on the Upper Corrib and Galway's canals.

-swimming gear/shorts
- or a wetsuit or old tracksuit to keep you warm in the kayak
- some old runners or water shoes
-snacks and a drink (small lunch)
Please select your preferred course.
Look forward to seeing you
