Canoeing / Kayaking
Each year EBGC enter a team in the Clubs For Young Peoples 100 mile canoe test. Over four gruelling days participants paddle 100 miles in a test of endurance. Rivers that have staged the event in the past have included the Severn, Wye and Trent. Before the test participants are coached on local rivers around Essex to give them the necessary skills and training to be able to complete the 100 miles.
EBGC can help young people gain qualifications in canoeing or kayaking through the British Canoe Unions star tests. The tests are designed so participants can gain a variety of skills and knowledge of the sports through training and then assessment.
