Simonside Outdoor Adventure: Powerboat sessions for schools
Contents
Overview
If you are a primary school, we tend to do just one session exploring the harbour, its history, geography and life on the river, while giving pupils an opportunity to drive the powerboats.
For older pupils, a similar one off experience or a range of sessions is available working towards an accredited award. The RYA level 1 powerboat is particularly suitable.
Pupils will need to bring:
- a towel
- long sleeved top
- swimming costume / shorts
- shoes they don't mind getting wet
- a plastic bag for the end of the session
Price
Prices start from £150 per group and includes:
- all technical equipment
- specialist clothing
- a 3 hour session including instruction in one of our RIBS
Health and safety
This activity takes place mainly in the River Tyne harbour area but on occasion we will work outside the piers.
All equipment is appropriate to meet the needs of the conditions and the staff are experienced in these sessions, appropriately qualified and hold full first aid and water based rescue qualifications.
