Its crazy how much kids love Riverschool!   Each day we paddle by giant canoe to our woodland basecamp for activities, free-play, fun, friendship and adventure, or we journey out to explore the Dart estuary. 

We normally gather at The Quay, Stoke Gabriel, but sometimes it is Tuckenhay or Totnes depending on the tides (so check your booking details carefully).

There are three types of Riverschool programmes.

1. HAF-Funded Holiday Club.   None scheduled at the moment.  We hope to run again in summer 2025, pending funding.

Places are free to young people from within Devon County Council and with a valid Free School Meals eligibilty code.   Bookings are for one five-day block (individual day bookings are not available), 10.30am – 3.30pm.   Please appy via the application form by clicking here.   Please don't complete the form without a Free School Meals or Extended Criteria eligiblity code.  For more infomation about this funded programme and the eligibility criteria, please click here.

To book:  Please 'Book Now' on the relevant 'Scheduled Trips' below. And complete this form.  (You will be prompted to complete this form again on submission of your booking. You only need to do it once!)   If you are booking for more than one day at the same time, you only need to book the first date of your booking below, so long as you have completed the form and ticked the correct days.  We should pick it up OK.   

Our aim is to be fully inclusive and open to everyone.  However, given the nature of our activities, please note we may need to limit numbers of very small children so that we have enough paddlers to operate our canoes safely, and also some SEN children if we can't satisfy the staffing levels that maybe needed to ensure a safe environment.  It is important you declare any SENs, ADHD etc.  

3. School trips, Youth groups, overnight camps and private birthday parties, please contact: hello@canoeadventures.co.uk or 07706 343744; schools/youth groups click here.
