Kayaking Summer Day Camp
North Bay

Trip Details

Course Description: If your child is ready to have lots of fun while getting a little wet, then this trip is for them. This action packed camp includes kayak skills training and tours, cooperative kayak games, and environmental education. The protected waters, warm climate, and abundant wildlife at our kayaking “base camp”, combine to make the perfect outdoor learning center. Your child will learn about kayaking and the local environment through interactive games and hands-on experience. We make learning fun!

The first two days of our camp will include interactive kayak instruction through group discussion and kayak games, such as obstacle course maneuvering, kayak polo, scavenger hunts, and some good ‘ole fashion playing and splashing.

On day three, we take an exciting kayak tour of the Corte Madera Salt Marsh Ecological Reserve where students will learn about local wildlife and protecting our ecologically sensitive areas.

Our friendly, professional instructors will make sure your child comes home knowing the fundamentals of kayaking, as well as having met and overcome new challenges.

Time: 9:00am - 3:00pm (Parent drop-off starting at 8:30am, pick-up by 3:30pm.)
