Kayaking
- stamina, strength, concentration -
Coolamatong owns 15 Kayaks, (Dancers and Lasers). The kayaks are single cockpit, plastic boats
that require the use a double bladed paddle to control. Due to the nature of Kayaking and the
strength and physical prowess needed to correctly handle a Kayak, the activity is recommended
for secondary school students only.
Kayaking at Coolamatong aims to develop correct handling techniques and body positioning. Groups
are taught basic strokes, safety procedures including capsize drills during a kayaking session.
As such kayaking is more appropriate during warmer months when getting wet is not as painful!
Normal group numbers for Kayaking are 10 - 12 per group.
