Learning How to Paddle board

Paddleboarding at Summer Camp

Learning to stand-up paddleboard (SUP) at a sleepaway summer camp on Catalina Island is an unforgettable experience that combines adventure, skill-building, and pure joy.  Surrounded by the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, kids have the unique opportunity to spot marine life, including fish and starfish as they glide over a kelp forest.

What are the Benefits of Learning How to Paddleboard?

Mastering the balance and technique of paddleboarding not only strengthens their core muscles and coordination but also fosters a deep sense of independence and accomplishment. Beyond the physical benefits, the peaceful experience of gliding over the water offers a rare moment of connection with nature, encouraging mindfulness and appreciation for the beauty of the ocean. Sharing this adventure with new friends makes it even more special, creating lifelong memories of laughter, splashes, and the thrill of standing tall on their board. By the end of camp, kids leave with not only a new skill but also a greater sense of self-confidence and an enduring love for outdoor adventure.
