Welcome To The Youth Island Activities Centre

Island Youth Water Activities Centre (IOW) Ltd. is a voluntary organisation grant aided by the Isle of Wight Youth & Community Service. We are a Charity run for the benefit of all young people on the Isle of Wight. Our prime aim being the provision of a variety of water based experiences, which combine challenge, safety and enjoyment. Our secondary aim is to provide training to national standards for young people and potential instructors (of any age). The Centre is committed to providing equal opportunities. We have the experience and facilities to cater for many special requirements. Although, parts of the Centre are not fully accessible to all currently, our plans to remedy this are well advanced.
