Teen Paddlesports Wind and Waves Camp (12 - 15 years)

Paddlers will challenge their skills on Northeast Ohio’s waterways paddling the calm waters of inland lakes, the moving water of rivers, and the wavy waters of Lake Erie. Youth will become confident paddlers as they experience stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and possibly have a chance to get on a sailboat. On the water fun is guaranteed; however, participants may not experience all activities due to weather and water conditions. Please bring a packed lunch, and be prepared to get wet every day. Participants will meet at Garfield Park Reservation and be transported to the paddling location each day. (12 - 15 years)
