Kayaking and Canoeing for everyone

Yarra Valley Kayaking wants to provide free Kayaking and Canoeing lessons to the public on Lilydale Lake. We especially wish to foster an environment where people with a disability feel they are equally welcome to participate and get instruction. Improve core muscle strength and stamina, while building new friendships and having fun in the sun. The program would run on specified weekdays and weekend days on the Shoreline of Lilydale Lake. Excited about the success of the free program, currently being run for some local school children, with the help of our volunteers we want to expand.

By providing all the necessary equipment and instruction, we hope to encourage people of all ages and abilities to come and have a try at a Sport they may not have felt available to them, due to expense, their physical abilities or lack of local instruction. Lilydale Lake is a Social hub accessed by a broad cross-section of our local community, who mainly use the walking tracks and playground area. We want to expand the amenity of the area on to the Lake, for everyone.
