We’ll school you

Your students are getting nervous (or your teachers lazy) and it’s time to take them out for a walk? Our kayaks are there to refresh you!

Our trash fishing activity is open to secondary school students in the 5th and the 6th year. All the participants have to be older than 16 and be able to swim. With our proud fleet of five kayaks, we can settle 8 oarsmen comfortably. The maximum number of participants is limited to 16 people. The activity lasts 1h45 for a single group or 2h30 for a double group.

We’ll start by giving a short explanation on the organisation, the problems we work on and the solutions we propose. Then, it’s all up to you and your net fishing skills. After you’ve filled your bin, you’ll be able to compare your catch but the gloves won’t be off. Indeed, you’ll still need them to sort the trash and tidy up the place. And since many hands make light work, we’ll ask you to help our guide to put the kayaks in and out of the water, and bring them back after your adventure.

We provide all the material, but you should wear a raincoat, rain-pants, as you will get wet, and closed shoes (no sandals or slippers). We also have a cupboard to keep your valuables well stored.

For safety reasons, everyone must be able to swim, an adult must always be present on the water, the minimum age is 8 years old, and there must be at least one person older than 16 in each kayak.

The guide will accompany you on the water for safety reasons, but we expect everyone to behave responsibly on the kayaks. The water is not safe for playing or swimming.

So what are you waiting for ? Fill in the contact form so we can plan your kayak trip!

PS: Oh and yes, here is our docking address: on the quay close to Quai des Péniches 10, 1000 Brussels. 

Hungry for more? We also organise DUO OUTINGS, which combine the kayak trips and a visit to the Sewer Museum, the water treatment plant, the incineration plant or the sorting plant. Click here to have more information.
