Bellboating has added a new way to enjoy watersport! It provides an excellent platform for developing canoeing/kayaking skills and also as an educational or team-work provision.
The Bell-Boat is a team of 8-10 people working together to mover the craft. We have found the bell boat as a great way to enjoy the water and promote good teamwork. Each Bell-Boat is guided by one of our trained and qualified 'helms,' which ensures your group will stay safe and enjoy the paddlesport.
The Bell-Boat is also viewed as a dynamic moving classroom on the water, and the raft of a philosophy of creative competition, co-operation and a systems approach to learning and working. The Bellboat is an ideal resourse component for any outdoor activity, which can provide an exciting platform for learning for subjects such as:
- Science
- Ecology
- Geography
- Physical Education
Some examples of groups who have used and enjoyed the experience:
- Scout Groups -
