We will use scouts' kayaks and paddles. Each member will be wearing a PFD (personal flotation device).
At least 1 leader will carry a phone in a dry bag accessible from the water. Mobile reception is expected in the area.
There will be a safety chat and dry demo before going on the water.
The activity will start and finish at Burns Bay Reserve, Lane Cove. From there we will unload the gear from the tailer and paddle. Around 3PM we will be back at the boat ramp where we will wash and load the kayaks back onto the trailer and finish the activity around 4 PM.
Participants must wear clothes appropriate to the temperature and be ready to get wet, including closed footwear (no thongs, yes to old shoes or watersport shoes). Hat and sunscreen.
Extra clothes should be ready at the landing point when we return.
Participants should bring a at least 1 lt of water, some nibbles (cereal bars, fruits or other) and lunch that can be consumed from the kayak (a sandwich in a container)
Check of personal clothing will be carried out before and if not adequate the child may be refused to participate.
