About The Programme

What Is
Cadet Week?

Cadet Week is Wormit Boating Club's flagship summer programme — five days of hands-on watersports, teamwork, and fun at our waterfront base on the Firth of Tay. Guided by qualified, experienced volunteers, young people learn new skills on the water in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.

Whether your child has sailed before or has never set foot on a boat, they'll feel right at home. All abilities and backgrounds are welcome — we believe every young person should have the chance to get out on the water.

Ages 8–15 Beginners Welcome Membership Required 27 Jul – 31 Jul 2026
