Daily Break down ( Not in order but what will be accomplished over the 5 days )
Kayaking/ marsh exploration Day

Kids will be introduced to paddling skills and proper technique, before heading off on a guided paddle to one of the local barrier islands. Destination is based on tide and weather for the day. Upon arrival, the group will gather local marine life to talk about and a brief learning session will be held to talk about the local environment. They will use things like crab pots/lines, seine nets, scoop nets, cast nets, and tongs.

Tubing Day

For this day, the kids will set up camp at a local island while the captain takes them in groups of 6 out to tube. They will get 1 morning session on a standard tube and then 1 afternoon session on 6 person tube to shuttle them back to the shop. On the island, they will enjoy lunch, games, water mats, a fishing station, kayaking, and more.

Fishing Day

Shuttled out to our fishing location, the kids will quickly get into the action catching various small bottom fish. While this goes on, the captain will take them in groups of 6 out to target larger species such as red drum, sheepshead, trout and more.

Shelling/Shark tooth/Sandollar day

After individual bags are handed out, we will head out for a day of scavenging! Sharks teeth and Sand dollars are abundant on the local islands, and shells like whelks, olives and other seaside treasures are likely to be found.

bay day (always the last day)

After a long week of adventure, its time for a day of beaching. Floats, mats, tubes, and more water /sand toys and gear will be brought for the kids to use. Along with fishing rods and weather dependent, some kayaks. Throughout the day we will play different group games on the beach and in the water.

Campers will learn the following: kayaking skills, water safety/knowledge, fishing skills, our coastal history, environmental awareness, and more. Each day will be filled with a mix of water activities, free/play time, a learning period, and lunch breaks.

One of the biggest challenges I face every year is setting camp prices and staff pay.
If you ask my close friends and family, they'll probably tell you I charge too little and pay too much—and they're probably right.

I've always believed summer camp should be something families can afford while also making sure the people caring for your children are paid fairly. But the reality is that insurance ( this is the huge one that almost doubled in price this year ) , fuel, equipment, maintenance, supplies, wages, and just about every other operating expense continue to increase each year.

Rather than cut corners, increase group sizes, or reduce staff ratios, we've chosen to continue providing the camp experience we believe every child deserves.

That means:
Small group sizes
Low staff-to-camper ratios
Full-day coverage for working families
Safe, hands-on outdoor adventures
Experienced, caring staff

After a lot of planning, here is our 2027 Summer Camp lineup along with a sign up link. All sign ups are final, no refunds, if something happens and you cannot attend the week you are welcome to sell your spot to someone else.
