About the event
This camp is for all children between 5 and 16 years old, where they will learn about, grow even more fond of, and enjoy the ocean! During this exciting programme, various water activities will be held.
Every day features a different programme, but it is all about the beach, the ocean, and having fun.
In addition to their PADI age-specific course or snorkelling for the Starfish group, here’s what else is on the programme:
- We will tap into our creativity and make sustainable art using marine debris found on the beach/ocean!
- We will teach the children about all the different kinds of fish in the ocean and take fish identification slates into the water to show them while snorkelling.
- After some Stand-Up Paddleboarding and kayaking lessons, we can paddle away!
- There will also be time to relax and focus on ourselves during a yoga lesson.
- All the extra energy can be expended during water fights.
To avoid the extreme heat, we will be in the water in the morning and focus on fun indoor activities in the afternoon.
Besides all the fun, we also touch on some serious subjects. The children will learn about Project AWARE and Greenfins. How can we protect the ocean and all the creatures living in it? In order to create heroes, you have to be a hero. Because of this, awareness is key in this camp. They will learn more about protecting turtles, saving sharks, understanding invasive species, and what to do about them. Let's not forget how to clean up the beaches and the debris in the ocean, and what we can do to contribute.
Activities include snorkelling, water sports, creative workshops and games, and even learning or continuing scuba diving!
We spend a lot of time outside, so all the children will receive their own rashguard. All you need to bring is ocean-friendly sunscreen, a hat, and swimmers.
Snacks will be included.
