Summer Lake Sessions

Our Summer Sessions at Wimbleball Lake start in early May and run every Wednesday through the summer for club members and have now finished for 2023

Junior coached sessions:
(£3 each): 18:30 (18:45 on the water) to 19:30
*Due to the popularity of our junior sessions, we usually need to operate a waiting list. To check availability, please email exmoorcanoeclub@hotmail.co.uk
Please book a place by 6pm on the Monday prior to the Wednesday Session using the form below.

Adult informal sessions
(£4 each): 19:30* to 20:30/21:00 off the water (depending on light)
*as the nights are drawing in, we can get on the water a little earlier than usual at 7:30pm.
These are self-led paddles, and a lovely way to spend a Wednesday evening. Join us by kayak, canoe, SUP, playboat or whatever you choose. Bring your own, or request to borrow kit from the club.

Come along to meet us for an informal paddle at Wimbleball Lake – your first session is free! (For adults, or juniors paddling with their family, as our junior sessions are currently full).

Meet us at the Canoe Club boat shed (shared with the Rowing Club), from 7:30pm. You’ll meet some of our members and committee, we’ll sort you out with all the kit you need, and you’ll do a short, informal, accompanied paddle to make sure you’re happy with the basics, before you decide whether or not to join us as a member.

Please email exmoorcanoeclub@hotmail.co.uk so we know to expect you, and book via the form below by 6pm on the Monday prior (don’t worry, you won’t be charged for your first session).
