Brighton Watersports, working with Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club, have created a exciting week of fun for Easter Half Term.
This will be a week of Youth sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing and our fun giant jumbo sup. This will be a fun learning experience aimed at 10 yrs and over.
Parents do not need to be present for this activity. (Click here for our Child Welfare policy.) Our Senior Child welfare officer will be present for the first day and any other day that is required. All our instructors are welfare trained.
The days will be divided into morning and afternoon activities - what we do will depend a little on the weather each day. But our aim is to teach the beginner and advanced sailing, progression will depend on speed of learning.
