Inspired By The Games

Monday 17th May 2010

CKC would like to say a big well done to Cremorne Riverside which has just become the first kayaking centre to receive the London 2012 Inspire Mark for its “Future Paddling” project!

The project aims to engage year 5 and 6 students in paddlesport.  Worksheets will be used to learn about local history and as part of this they will discover boats hidden in the park which are all classes of canoes and kayaks used during the Olympic Games.  After this students get the opportunity to kayak on the Tidal Thames and work towards a nationally recognised award.

An Olympic and Paralympic first, the London 2012 Inspire programme officially recognises outstanding non-commercial projects and events inspired by the Games.
