About

Yes, you can: Users of Mobility aids, Anyone who can sit with support, Users of Wheelchairs, Unsure or low confidence walkers, All people with visual impairments, People with Auditory impairments, People with learning difficulties, People with autism, People with additional medical needs, Older people up to 103 years old.

Explore on Winderemere at a swans pace or a ducks level.

Anyone Can is an adventure for all company – we welcome those with additional needs. We have a wide range of adaptive and inclusive equipment to make adventure possible for all our clients.

Travelling by canoe is fantastic for many people who want to adventure who have some additional needs.

We specialise in including everyone and have a variety of ways to get you on the water confidently. Young or old, confident or terrified we can get you on the water on your terms.

Why Canoeing is super inclusive

Canoeing is a seated activity, and we have a wide range of supportive seating to help. You can board the canoes on dryland before being slid onto the water, which makes it easy for users of mobility aids, wheelchair users and those not confident clambering around docks. Canoeing is also a 2 or 3 person-per-boat activity, so if anyone struggles with stamina, vision or understanding, there are others in the boat sharing the task.

We have rudder steering on some of our boats so anyone with the use of one hand and arm can contribute by steering. We can add our wing floats to many of our boats to make them nearly impossible to capsize.

We have a large wheelchair access (and float onboard) support boat called 'Freedom". Freedom allows us to take one-way journeys, whisk you back to use the accessible toilets or give you somewhere to rest. Freedom gives you the confidence of knowing that if you somehow ended up in the water, there is an easy way to get back (our water ramp).

We sell whole day activities, so there is no rush, we can take the time people need to get comfortable and set up just right and make any changes required during the day.

We have a mobile hoist to help those who need it into and out of our canoes, and transfer steps for those who can self transfer.

We have access to BSL instructors and have a basic level of Makaton.

We are aware and responsive to the needs of people with learning difficulties and Autism. We can arrange quiet time sessions, sessions with a breakaway instructor, visual timetables etc.

Prices 

£310 for a private booking of up to 4 people including a picnic lunch (10am - 3pm)

£360 for a private booking of up to 4 people: Canoe and Bushcraft 3-course lunch (10am - 4pm)

These days are from 10 am - 3 pm. We start the day by getting the Canoes ready based on the group's needs, ensuring everyone is comfy with their seating arrangements we then get on the water. We will teach you the paddling skills you will need for the day to be able to go on a journey and then we head off for a picnic lunch on Windermere.
