I am excited to combine my experience as a school counselor and my love for kayaking, kids, and all things outdoors!     

Your child’s health and safety is a top priority!  My staff and I are trained in first aid and have all necessary clearances.  Campers will frequently be reminded to  wash their hands, hydrate and reapply sunscreen.  In the event of thunderstorms, we will move the fun to a sheltered location.  Kayaking locations will be chosen based on safe water conditions. Medical information/authorization forms are required for registration. 

Please contact me with any questions. The beauty of running a small business is that I can be flexible to meet your needs. (Earlier drop-off? Later pick-up? Transportation? Wish there was a camp at a different location or on a different date? Want a one or two day experience? Want something just for your child/children?) Tell me what you need and I’ll try to make it happen!

APPALACHIAN KAYAK DAY CAMP

Maximum enrollment: 12     Minimum: 7

Minimum age is 8 and maximum capacity is 12.  However, I cannot have a kayak camp of 12 8-year-olds.  So, I am limiting the number of our youngest campers to a maximum of 3 per week to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.  Registration for 8-year-olds is on a first come, first served basis. Please call to discuss options.

Time: 8:30-3:30 

Later pick-up:
If you cannot pick up your child at 3:30, you may opt for a later pick-up time.
Individual rate: $35/week
Family rate for 2 or more siblings: $45/ week
Late pick-up must be requested in advance; with registration or at least 2 weeks prior to the start of camp.

Transportation: For families South of Halifax, pick up and drop off can be arranged at Fort Hunter Park on Front Street in Harrisburg.  The cost is $15/day or $75/week.  Transportation must be requested in advance.

Cost per child: $290 for 5 days $255 for 4 days

Description: Campers will learn basic kayak skills and water safety and get to try both single and tandem kayaks on calm, nearby waterways. We will also learn a little about local history, wildlife and ecology.  Activities will be chosen based on both weather and campers’ interests and may include fishing, crafts, games and swimming. Kayaks, paddles and life vests will be provided. Campers should wear water shoes or old sneakers and bring a change of clothing, sunscreen, a hat, a refillable water bottle and a lunch. Our main objective is to have FUN while staying safe!
