Try something new this summer – take to the water, for a refreshing, healthy, fun and totally different camp experience!

Five Mile River is beautiful, diverse, and sheltered – making it the perfect place to learn and develop kayaking skills. Weave in and out of pilings, under bridges, around buoys and boats, playing water games that increase balance, coordination, and confidence, through teamwork. Once we’ve got the skills, it’s out into Long Island sound to visit local beaches and islands for treasure hunts, combing beaches for shells, fishing, swimming and enjoying the wildlife.

Downunder Kayaking for Kids camp programs are available for ages 4 years old to teens from June 26 - August 22.

Kids learn everything from what to wear, equipment used, how it works; to kayaking skills - paddle and boat handling, form, strokes, how to get in and out, and what to do if you find yourself ‘out’! Information such as rules of the 'road', weather, navigation, tides... essentials for the skilled and responsible kayaker. An important part of our program is taking care of the marine environment - educating children so they understand the impact of trash and contaminants. Making a difference by cleaning up the river and beaches we visit.

A daily nutritious snack keeps our energy up (OK, so sometimes we go for ice-cream), we drink lots of water, breathe lots of fresh air, and engage most muscle groups - sending home happy and maybe a little tired, campers! The program runs rain or shine, with field trips to the Aquarium, Soundwaters, Sheffield Island (by boat), and other gems that make this program special.
