Kayaking camp details
The sheltered waters of Deep Bay/Kwilákm, is where most of the fun and games take place. We launch every day from Sandy Beach, just a short walk from the kayak shop in Snug Cove.
On day one we work with each of the children to select the best kayak for them. This kayak will be theirs for the week and once selected our guides will teach everyone about the different parts of the kayak. Paddling basics and kayaking safety focus heavily on morning one, to make sure all the children are aware of expected behaviour. Each child will be fitted with a Personal Flotation Device, please make sure to read our ‘what to bring’ information!
After this first morning briefing it’s time to hit the ocean! The first afternoon is about learning how to paddle forwards, how to stop, and how to turn a kayak. After instruction, children at this age very quickly start to master these skills.
The next few days the children build upon these foundational skills and start to explore more. We may have fun in a ‘chariot race,’ or maneuvering through an obstacle course, or kayak tag with a sponge. At the end of each day each child has the responsibility for cleaning and stowing their equipment.
Further details regarding drop off and pick up and what to bring to camp will be emailed 10 days prior to the first day of each camp.
