This program is designed for young adventurers who like being challenged and are looking to learn and grow their water adventures skillset. Early in the week we will focus on providing adventurers with the “tools” and skillsets they need to overcome the challenges they will be presented with each day. 

We strongly believe in the mutual benefit of having older or more experienced participants mentor or “team up” with younger participants and novices.

Learning outcomes of our program will include knowledge of the tides, paddling techniques, marine science, and of course incorporating social and life skills such as patience, compassion, overcoming challenges, and dealing with stressful situations collaboratively. During inclement weather/waves we may also build tidepool touch tanks, seaglass and shell artwork, and make maps of our adventures among other things.

 Each day will be different and will build on the skills learned in previous days culminating in our EOTW (pronounced EAT-WAH) Challenge Expedition on Thursday. While we challenge our participants we also believe in the model of “challenge by choice” pioneered by the founders of Project Adventure. 

This is an almost entirely outdoor camp program. In the event of rainy weather we will still be outdoors for the majority of the program. If the weather is dangerous (lightening etc) we do have an emergency indoor location at the Public Rockport Harbor masters/Bathroom building.

All our program staff have experience working with youth, and are CPR and First Aid certified and trained.

If we are required to cancel a program for any reason, you are entitled to a credit or refund worth the full value of the cancelled class or program. You are also entitled to a credit or refund worth the full value of the class or program when you cancel by June 1st.

We do not offer refunds for participant cancellation after June 1st. Our program has limited spots, and we expect to have a waitlist. Openings by June 1st will allow participants from the waitlist the opportunity to enroll, while later cancellations may not.

Refunds will not be offered if a participant is removed from a program for safety related misbehavior.

Most time will be spent on or near the water. Dangerous misbehavior, horseplay, and the inability to control oneself will not be tolerated. Such actions may lead to immediate dismissal for the day and potentially the week.

We are responsible for everyone’s well being, both their mental and physical safety. Please be sure to evaluate your children’s ability to keep everyone safe.

Non-safety related issues will be dealt with on a case by case basis. However we do operate a 3 strikes and your out policy.
