Scamell Coaching, led by Grant Scamell - a BCU Level 5 Coach, offers open canoe and kayak tuition in Kent.
Whether you are a new paddler or just a bit rusty, our sessions will help you to build the skills and confidence to enjoy the sport.
We offer open canoeing and kayaking courses on Saturdays and Sundays and private coaching during the week when the river is much quieter. Our courses cover the new British Canoeing Paddle Awards including the Start Award , the Discover Award and the Explorer Award. For more advanced paddlers, we offer the new Personal Performance Awards in both canoe and kayak. Unlike many other providers we mainly work with adults and small group sizes, but if you prefer, we also offer private coaching, giving you dedicated tuition.
