Whether it\u2019s your child\u2019s first time at summer camp or they\u2019ve been attending for many years, there\u2019s something absolutely thrilling about arriving at camp and starting new adventures. One of the major benefits of summer camp is the <\/span>wide array of activities<\/span><\/a> available, accommodating children who are deeply involved in athletics to children looking to bring out their artistic side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In <\/span>Southern California<\/span><\/a>, the sun is constantly shining, making it one of the best locations for outdoor summer camp activities including kayaking, snorkeling, rock climbing and soccer. If those activities have sparked your attention, read on! However, if you\u2019re looking for more exhilarating activities for your child, we have those too. Whatever interests your child has, summer camp is sure to have something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n Skin diving is truly a unique experience that can be found at Catalina Island Camps. Children can safely swim in the sea and take in some breathtaking views. At Catalina Island Camps, we provide the wetsuits, snorkels, masks and fins!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kayaking is a great way for children to soak in their surroundings and move silently across the water. The view from the ocean is incredibly different than walking on the shore. If your child has never gone kayaking, they\u2019ll have the opportunity to learn basic skills to explore our cove and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n Perfect for 5th graders and older, stand up paddleboarding is an absolute rush. Children stand up on the board while paddling, taking in the marine life at the same time. There\u2019s also an option to kneel while paddling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Arts and crafts is a great way to unwind, especially for children new to summer camp or those who get homesick. Making bracelets, tie-dye shirts and painting are a great way to take a break from the day and relax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is one of the best ways to conquer your fear of heights, build confidence, and gain leadership skills. Overcoming the perceived risk of falling, taking in breathtaking views, and helping peers through the course makes this a truly rewarding experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Target sports, such as archery, offer campers the opportunity to enhance their hand-eye coordination and practice patience. While target sports don\u2019t require increased physical exercise, they do require concentration and focus. These types of activities provide children with important skills that they can take with them long after camp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Catalina Island Camps, we offer more than just land and water activities. Our <\/span>experienced team<\/span><\/a> takes campers on thrilling adventure trips to Emerald Bay and Parson\u2019s Landing. We also introduce campers to special overnight activities that match their specific interests. Campers experience sleeping under the stars, learn the \u201cLeave No Trace\u201d outdoor ethics, and get to socialize with campers from other cabins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWaterfront Activities at Summer Camp<\/span><\/h2>\n
