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:

• On the 3rd day, we will keep our feet dry for a bit while still being out on the water. We will tap into our creativity and make sustainable art using marine debris found in the ocean!
• You can't have a summer camp on the beach without building sandcastles. So, that is definitely included!
• 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.

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.

Lunch is included.
