This is a summer day camp for kids ages 8-14 that takes place at Pier 7 Marina in Edgewater, MD. Pier 7 is a gated marina with multiple beaches at the intersection of the South River and Warehouse Creek. This camp will involve a combination of activities from kayaking, paddle boarding, arts and crafts, basic dog obedience skills, and learning about our local environment on the Chesapeake Bay.
The paddling portion will begin with kids learning basic kayaking and paddle boarding skills. From there we will explore Warehouse Creek on kayaks and SUPs and do some fun activities like relay races and scavenger hunts. Because Whoof has a heart for dogs, we'll be teaching some basic dog obedience skills with some visiting pups. And weather permitting, we'll work in a family paddle one afternoon.
Our arts and crafts program will involve various projects throughout the summer, including clay works, painting, group murals, crafting and more. We are working with other local artists and companies to put together different projects each week so that, if kids want to come more than one week, they will be doing something different each time. And yes, best of all, Echoes of Nature will be back with their animal ambassadors, and Marvelous K9 Training will be back with their amazing pups to help teach the kids how to kayak with dogs!!
