    Paddlesports camp with Surrey Hills and Rivers is excellent! Really well put-together - professional and fun. The kids got to try out various kayaks and canoes and learnt a lot in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Also they got to a meet a Tokyo medalist (Liam Heath) which was an extra bonus. Strongly recommend!
