Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Minnows
A camp designed for our youngest kayakers. Through fun and games, campers learn boat parts, essential gear, rescue techniques and overall kayaking fundamentals. With a slower pace and shorter paddling distances, this is a wonderful introduction to the kayaking world.
Eco Arts Camp
Educational paddling and artistic expression come together in this camp where natural materials become works of art. Projects include Gyotaku (Japanese art of fish printing), stone sculptures, and other Andy Goldsworthy inspired creations. By assembling their own works of art, campers gain a greater appreciation for environmental diversity and develop a deeper connection to the natural world.
Biology Camp
This camp offers an all access pass to the wonders of diverse coastal ecosystems. Campers are introduced to kayaking while gaining knowledge of the natural processes occurring along the tidal creeks, marshes and shorelines of Little Harbor. Campers will walk away with an understanding of food webs, the value of healthy ecosystems and the importance of environmental stewardship.
