NEVSAIL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP 2021

Overview

Nevsail will be running our 12 week TY Outdoor Adventure Sports Scholarship giving participants an opportunity to learn new skills and sports and employment opportunities afterwards.

For the past number of years many of the successful participants have developed into industry as qualified kayakers. Many of whom are now regularly running kayak activity sessions and becoming kayak facilitators passing on their knowledge to the next generation of young Irish Kayakers.

Our Vision

Our plan is to offer an all encompassing outdoor scholarship program that gives participants the skills and knowledge to start a career in the outdoors. 

Altogether participants will take part and complete many core modules in:

• Kayaking & Canoeing
• Stand-up Paddle Boarding 
• Sailing and Boat Handling
• Archery & Team Challenges
• Manual Handling (Certification)
• Social Media and Promotions
• Intro to outdoor instructing & Group Management

A place on the Scholarship is worth over €1,600 per person and Nevsail is delighted to offer 10 places completely FREE of charge.
