The Paddlesport Camp 2013
The Paddlesport Camp is not your
traditional summer camp. Most of a camper’s time will be spent on the water in
canoes, kayaks, and standup paddle boards. Campers will be taking instructional
courses sanctioned by the United States Canoe Association and the California
Department of Boating and Waterways.They will receive certificates upon the completion of their courses. Campers
will learn basic water safety and paddling skills and rescues. They will also have the opportunity to go on
an 8.5 mile river trip.
Campers will use their paddling
skills to participate in a wide variety of on-the-water games including sprint races,
kayak water polo, chariot races, and capture the flag. Friday is Paddlesport Olympics day. Campers will use their skills to compete in
"Olympic” style events and earn medals.
In addition to Paddlesport
activities campers will "connect” with the San Joaquin River through science,
leadership and stewardship activities.They will perform water quality testing, study macro invertebrates,
investigate wildlife and learn about the effort to return salmon to the river. Campers will also participate in the
Initiative and Confidence Leadership program and perform a river stewardship
activity. The camp will provide equipment
for campers to fish every day! Why chose us?
