Here at Water Park we are always striving to move our courses forward and initiate new developments.  In addition to our multi discipline 5 day and weekend courses we are now pleased to offer a range of specialist courses and mini-expeditions.

All courses are staffed by experienced and qualified instructors.  Courses are open to any individuals or groups over the age of 14.  We are particularly keen to see young people seizing these opportunities.

All courses require a minimum number of people to make them viable to run.  Prices include VAT,  equipment and instruction.  As with other courses at Water Park, we are able to offer financial contributions to young people who you feel would benefit from such a course, but who cannot afford the full fee.
