FAQs
Let us put your mind at rest. Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.
There's no need to go out and spend lots of money buying new equipment and clothing. We have a full kit list of what you need to bring here. We provide specific things such as wetsuits, buoyancy aids, and waterproofs. Please do call us if you have any questions about kit.
If it's a residential stay they will still benefit hugely from being away with their friends. We will accommodate them as much as possible to ensure that they still get the full CYE experience. For example, a child with an arm in plaster might accompany one of the instructors in a Safety boat for the afternoon. If your child is on a specific sailing or paddling course and their injury means they cannot participate, please call us to discuss the options (most likely we'll offer for you to defer their place to another course)
We require that children and staff alike MUST wear a properly fitting buoyancy aid before being allowed near the water (from the jetty onwards). Buoyancy aids will keep a person completely afloat until they are attended to, regardless of whether they can swim or not. If your child has any concerns over being on the water, let us know beforehand and we will make sure that both you and they are reassured and communicated with accordingly.
