A fun, safe and healthy way to explore the river and learn about water safety.
The Experience
Our summer camps are designed for kids aged 8–15, split into age-appropriate groups when possible (8–11 and 12–15) so everyone gets the right attention. Campers spend most of their time on a calm stretch of the Boyne River, learning paddling techniques, balance, turning, and safety — all with a healthy dose of fun. All equipment is included and there’s no experience required!
