SUMMER SUP CAMPS
Introducing an exhilarating summer adventure - our 2024 junior Summer SUP Camps.
Throughout the waters of Howth harbour and beyond, our camps promise an unforgettable journey of balance, coordination, and fun. Under the guidance of our experienced coaches, campers will learn the basics of stand up paddle boarding, water safety, and environmental awareness, all while making new friends and building confidence on the water.
Don't let your child miss out on the adventure of a lifetime. Places are filling up fast – sign them up today and get ready to watch them stand tall on the water, paddle in hand, ready to conquer the waves!
WHO ARE OUR CAMPS FOR
Whether your child is a seasoned paddler or trying it out for the first time, our camps offer a supportive and engaging space to master their new skills.
We offer camps that cater to different age groups; Camp A is for juniors aged 8-11 yrs, and Camp B is for 12-17 yrs.
Each camper does need to be somewhat confident on and in the water; we require that they can swim at least 50m unaided.
