OAC: Outdoor Adventure Camp Ages 8-13
This week-long summer day-camp is an experience campers will never forget...and parents will be amazed at how well their children sleep. We have so much fun campers don't realize they're learning! Through kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and standup paddleboarding, participants learn safety, orienteering, teamwork, Leave No Trace ethics, adventure nutrition, how to have the best kayaking beach party ever and much more.
In our big, happy van we'll go to local parks and beaches as part of this camp, and we'll visit the Poulsbo Marine Science Center to pet sea cucumbers and talk to the octopus. This camp runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Friday in Poulsbo.
Additional OAC summer camps are offered on Bainbridge Island in partnership with the Bainbridge Island Metro Parks & Recreation Dept. You can sign up for these online or call the parks office at: (206) 842-2306.
