Monkton Rowing Camps- Four one week long courses over the summer
Based at Saltford Boathouse in Bath we are offering four 5 day Summer Rowing Camps in 2025. Each day our course begins at 9am and ends at 3pm, the majority of the day will be spent on the water. Our lead coach and course instructor, Nick Baker ( former Paralympic Head Coach for GB) , together with Simon Brown, along with other Monkton instructors will be on the water with the children coaching from launches ensuring that the children are able to immerse themselves in all things rowing.
Rookie Lifeguard - 12th to 14th August 2025
The Rookie Lifeguard programme gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or the sea – which means peace of mind for you. With colourful materials and fun, varied activities, the Rookie Lifeguard scheme teaches children how to enjoy water safely, whether in shallow or deeper water.
We hope by the end of the course they will have been able to achieve either bronze, Silver or Gold awards in Rookie Lifeguard.
