Summer Day Camps
Our Summer Day Camps promise fun, learning, and lots of paddling for youth ages 8-12! Running for select weeks in July and August, campers will have the chance to cultivate their sense of adventure and their connection to the outdoors.
Each camp is a blend of on-water paddling instruction and activities and on-land including learn-to-camp activities and games. Campers will also spend time inside the Museum learning and connecting with the world’s largest collection of paddled watercraft. Enjoy learning and time outdoors in a fun and supportive environment! No paddling experience is necessary and all skill levels are welcome.
