Summer Day Camps
Our Summer Day Camps promise fun, learning, and lots of paddling for youth ages 8-14. 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, learn-to-camp activities and games. Each Summer Day Camp will teach an ORCKA paddling certification that campers have the opportunity to earn by the end of the week.
Our on-land activities utilize our Lakefront Campus and an educational focus to teach hands-on skills and games in a supportive environment.
