The Summer Kids Camp is a collaboration with Paddle Sports Center & Save the Mermaids. Each week will focus on ocean sports and marine education topics that directly correlate to our local marine environment.
Paddle Sports Center Co-Founders originally conceived of the paddling membership, designed and implemented in 2010. After years of refining and training other businesses in California, we have program that has you the paddler in mind. Paddle during your lunch break, before/after work, or on the weekend. This is your alternative to the gym, it is your outdoor fitness center. Just think, instead of lines to get on treadmills, you have dolphins & whales swimming alongside of you! Paddling for fitness not only calms the mind, but strengthens the body.
We loved our kayak tour with Adam. He was really knowledgable and friendly and ensured that we had a great time (despite the rainy and cold weather).
– Heather S., TripAdvisorI was so glad to have gone there for paddle board lessons with my granddaughter. Terrific instruction and really nice people and facilities.
– Beryl K., TripAdvisorWe contacted the Sports Centre late with a large group wanting to do a quick paddle arounf the harbour. Jordan looked after us, made sure we had everything we needed, and had a great time with the kids paddling around the harbour. Great for kids aged 5 up.
– Dean E., TripAdvisorWe loved our kayaking trip with Ryan as our guide. The ferry ride was awesome, food was great and our kayaking through caves very exciting! Lots of swells.
