The Club
Upton Warren Canoe and Kayak Club, based in Bromsgrove, is a friendly recreational club for both experienced paddlers and complete beginners.
We offer coached sessions in a safe, fun environment for a range of paddle sports including canoe, kayak and Stand Up Paddleboarding. Our sessions are led by our members, so we can provide British Canoeing training awards or just a relaxed environment on the water. The experienced paddler will find opportunities to paddle with other like-minded boaters on moving water, try an aspect of paddling they haven't done before, work towards coach awards or simply relax on the lake after a hard day at work.
Lake Sessions normally run from April to September on a Monday evening. They start at 6.30pm to start on the water at 7:00pm. You are welcome to bring our own equipment or borrow equipment from the club. At the lake sessions you can enrol on the training courses in both canoe and kayak.
Pool Sessions from September to March still on a Monday evening. Coaching is available and is geared towards kayaking skills. You can bring your own boat to the pool or use one of the dedicated pool boats.
Throughout the year we run a number of coach-led and peer-run trips on moving water. We try to make sure we offer variety of environments to suit a range of abilities and interests.
More detailed information about the club is in the About Us section.

Children
- Children 6-8 can start paddling with a parent or guardian in the same canoe or sit-on-top
- We advise all children under 10s to have their parents/guardian on the water with them, but this depends on the child and their water confidence.
- Parents/guardians for all under 16s must stay onsite.
