Youth Training Camp - Barrow, Cumbria

Includes:

• Freestyle Coaching
• Daily activities
• Fun competitions with prizes

This camp aims to be the first of many with Jo Wilson Coaching to create a Young British Kitesurfing Vibe and provide as much or as little coaching that each person requires to help improve their level.

The program is for young people 18 years or younger who can already kitesurf but would like to take their kitesurfing further whether that is to learn new tricks just for fun or to compete on a more serious level. For 2014 there are maximum of 6 places available and the coaching will take place in and around Barrow in Cumbria.

Earnse Bay will be our base where sand and sea stretch as far as the eye can see. It works in a range of wind directions from NW through to SE providing a great playground with small kickers and flat water to have one hell of a time. Within a short distance of travelling there are various options for wind from the easterly directions too.

The camp aims to bring together young people of similar ages to spark off and form friendships for future kite sessions together. It will have a structured format to help each person gain the most from the camp, but the costs will be kept down as the aim is not to hit your pocket.

The camp will last for 4 days following a structure that will be flexible based on the forecast:

• 8am: Good fun boot camp style off the water activities for team building purposes
• 9am: fend for yourself breaky (24hrs Tescos Superstore is 10 minutes drive to stock your cool boxes & foot wells)
• 10am - 1pm: Coaching sessions with participants split in to 2 groups.
• 1pm - 3pm: Fend for yourself lunchtime.
• 3pm - 4.30pm: Fun kitesurfing sessions / comeptitions under the watchful eye of Jo Wilson and parents.

Evening times we will all have a good stretch out to ease the muscles after a long day on the water and then a chilled out BBQ for dinner. For accommodation Earnse Bay has a gravel car park tucked back from the town and permitted for overnight camping. You can pitch your tent or sleep in your vans free of charge. Alternatively if you were looking for a comfier bed and solid roof over your head there are various B&B’s and hotels nearby.

I am proud to present this as the first camp and I am very passionate about helping develop the level of young people. My aim would be to help them hit the next level safely and effectively and be able to find a route to wherever they would like to head - whether that is to help each person shine out at their local beach or rock out at competitions in the UK, Europe or the World!

Parent wise I am sure that you will be needed to help over the course of the days, but hopefully with the professionalism and safety of this set up you will feel comfortable to take some time to kite yourself or have some time to sit back and relax with a book if you prefer. There may be times that I would like your help to ensure the safe running of certain activities such as competitions and bbq’s and hopefully this will be a good chance for us all to meet, get to know each other and have lots of active fun in the process!
