About this Event

For those that want to have a paddle in their own craft on the river beforehand, there is an AquaPaddle session too: AquaPaddle | Stockton


Family friendly, outdoors, activity!

It involves paddling a large canoe style boat together in time with up to 20 other people. In just under an hour we will teach you the basics of paddling while enjoying being out on the water of the Tees, experiencing the views from the water. We have both dragon boats (up to 20 paddlers) and a Hawaiian outrigger canoe (up to 6 paddlers).

Sessions are suitable for individual adults 16+ years, accompanied children 10+, no group bookings. To book a separate group session (fees apply) please contact us on the links below:

  • Website: TeesValleyDragons.co.uk
  • F acebook: PowerhouseDBRC

Please arrive promptly to allow safety briefings to take place to allow you to take part.

  • Arrive at 11:15am Sunday

When you arrive, one of our members will meet you. You will be given a full safety brief and an introduction to paddling by one of our fully qualified and experienced coaches. Here we will give you all your equipment to take part in the session (a paddle and buoyancy aid). This is also where you can ask us any questions you may have. You will then be guided to the boat where we will teach you the basics of paddling in around an hour. Straight away you will be paddling the boat under expert guidance while having fun and making many new friends!
