Hampton Canoe club
is a social paddling club based on a beautiful part of the Thames opposite The Bell Inn, Hampton
With the emphasis on social paddling, groups of paddlers go out every weekend that the weather and river conditions allow, along with Wednesday evenings in the summer. These are a mix of local paddles as well as trips further afield.
New members are always welcome, and we have regular Improver sessions throughout the main season to support new paddlers.
Hampton Canoe Club is run by and for its members on an entirely voluntary basis.
Kayaking Courses
Each year we offer a series of Kayaking courses throughout the Spring and Summer for non-members. These courses provide the essential skills to become a basic adult paddler and are the required minimum standard if you plan to join the club. Please see the courses page for dates.
Improver Sessions
New members can join Improver sessions on completion of one of our courses or an assessment by a coach.
