5 awesome days, 5 different adventures.
This is no ordinary summer camp. Not only will your child have a blast, but they will also be learning brand new skills and how to conquer many obstacles they once feared trying. This camp is meant to be challenging, yet attainable and educational yet fun. We go beyond typical outdoor fun & education; broaching environmental issues as we immerse ourselves into the Florida Bay, offshore reefs, and nearshore waters. While sharing our love of boardsports, we are also placing a strong emphasis on positivity, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills through team -building challenges.
A look at camp activities (not necessarily in this order):
Day 1: WAKEBOARDING- The younger groups will have their first taste of wakeboarding behind the Otherside Twin Vee in the Florida Bay. With decades of experience teaching wakeboarding, we've seen an incredibly high success rate for first-timers. The older group will experience cable wakeboarding at Miami Watersports Complex. This cable gives us the opportunity for many riders to be on the water at one time. Together, our coaches and campers will set individual goals based on skill set and work one-on-one to attain them. Building on teamwork by supporting each other's successes & failures and building one another up to try, try again!
Day 2: FREEDIVING- Our certified FII instructors have prepared games and activities that cleverly integrate fundamental freediving skills and more importantly, key safety protocols. Basic physiology and breathing techniques will be covered before we embark to two different coral reefs with Islamorada Dive Center. Your child will practice their newly acquired skills using the one up, one down methodology while our coral reefs at new depths.
Day 3: INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING -We literally climb to new heights in the 14,000 square foot indoor rock climbing gym. Your child will learn and be able to perform a double figure 8 knot by the end of the day. We will learn about the belay system and basic climbing techniques. Each child will set their own goals, and often surpass them!
Day 4: PADDLE DAY: Setting out two by two atop a paddleboard; the campers will work together to navigate approximately 3 miles in the Florida Bay! Collectively analyzing the wind and tides and making a plan of action to find their way is one of the take-away from the team-building games we've been doing throughout the week!
Day 5: SKATEBOARDING- Whether your child is already shredding the skatepark or standing on a board for the very first time, our coaches make a point to work individually with every single child to develop and build skills at Big Pine Skatepark. They'll also each get the opportunity to use our Onewheels!
We end this amazing week with a reflective conversation and pizza party on the patio at Bayside Gourmet!
*Please note that many of these activities are weather-dependent and we often flip-flop the days to provide the best possible experience.
