Kids Paddle Board Lessons at Wild Wood

Learn. Laugh. Build Confidence.

Our Kids Paddle Boarding Lessons are the perfect introduction to stand-up paddle boarding for children aged 7–16 years.

Led by qualified instructor Coach Lo, these fun, small-group sessions help children develop confidence, balance and water skills in a safe, supportive environment on our beautiful private lake.

With a maximum of 5 children per lesson, every child receives plenty of individual guidance while enjoying time outdoors and making new friends.

What to Expect

During the 45-minute lesson, children will learn:

  • How to safely use a paddle board

  • Balance and paddling techniques

  • How to turn and control their board

  • Water safety and confidence

  • Fun games and challenges to develop their skills

Whether it’s their very first time on a paddle board or they’re looking to improve their confidence, every session is tailored to the group.

While They’re on the Water…
