Welcome to
Axe Vale Canoe Club

Welcome to the
Axe Vale Canoe
Club (AVCC)
website.

The club is based in Seaton, Devon and offers a wide variety of canoeing disciplines including: touring, white water and sea paddling.

We have a range of fully equipped Canoes and kayaks including all the personal kit to go with them: buoyancy aids, cags, spray decks, helmets and over trousers. The club house has hot showers and facilities for refreshments.

We have around 80 members but are always looking to include new members to strengthen the club and provide you with new skills and an enjoyable time paddling. If you are interested in more information about how to join us and our beginner and improvers courses, then look at the Interested in Joining page.

The club also runs a number of other open courses and sessions with local schools - see the Courses page.
