Summer Camps

Kayak, Paddleboard and Outrigger Paddling Camp - Ages 9-14

​​

Youth learn paddling techniques and water safety while having fun with cooperative on-water games and activities. They will try a variety of paddling styles including sprint kayak, outrigger canoe, whitewater kayak, and stand-up paddleboard. We use one or two person boats as kids like being "master of their own ship" and they learn many more skills than they do in multi-person boats. Our camps have a maximum of four paddlers per coach, so there is lots of individual instruction.

The camps are focused on paddling, and participants will spend the majority of the time on the water. We have found that half-day camps are ideal - there is plenty of time to paddle, but the kids don't get exhausted by spending the entire day on the water and in the sun.
