It's no secret that our Seafarer week long summer day camp is a fantastic, fun introduction to kayaking, paddleboarding, and the natural world that your child will remember for years to come. Read more
Seafarer Paddle camp is for young paddlers between the ages of 7 and 10. Seafarers will learn basic kayaking skills, and get a chance to try the fun new sport of stand up paddleboarding! We'll visit local beaches and parks, learn Leave No Trace ethics, play games to get us comfortable on the water, have a super fun party on the last day, and so much more!
Every Seafarer gets fitted in equipment just their size before learning basic skills such as paddle strokes, wet exits, water safety, how to fit our personal flotation devices and more. We'll practice teamwork, learn about local marine life, and pay a visit to the Poulsbo Marine Science Center to learn about the wild creatures found there.
This camp runs from 9:00am to 1:00pm Monday through Friday in Poulsbo.
Monday: Play games to get to know everyone, learn how to fit our equipment and paddle a kayak, take a short paddle for lunch, search for seals and other wildlife, plan tomorrow and play games.
Tuesday: Learn what to do if your kayak tips over, have lunch on the beach and play log jam (the most fun paddling game ever invented!)
Wednesday: Learn how to read a navigation chart and how to use a compass, paddle to Lion's Park, have lunch and play games.
Thursday: Get an introduction to standup paddleboarding, have lunch, touch and learn about creatures on a visit to the Poulsbo Marine Science Center, then plan our last day party!
Friday: Paddle to Lion's Park for our PARTY, games and fun. If we vote for it, we'll play a final game of log jam before paddling back to say goodbyes.

Size Restrictions
Carriers impose varying size restrictions on international shipments and as such not all shipment methods will be available for all products. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, One-Piece Kayak and SUP Paddles which can not be shipped internationally via the United States Postal Service. You may select to ship the items via UPS or choose to custom order a break-down configuration. Kayak paddles can be ordered in 2 or 4 piece configurations, SUP paddles can be ordered in a 3 piece travel configuration.
Over-Sized Items
One Piece Paddles
Due to the oversize nature of one piece whitewater and SUP paddles, and recent changes in the shipping industry, standard shipping on these items starts at $14.95. One-Piece Kayak and SUP Paddles cannot be shipped internationally via the United States Postal Service. You may select to ship the items via UPS or choose to custom order a break-down configuration. Kayak paddles can be ordered in either 2 or 4 piece configurations, while SUP paddles can be ordered in a 3 piece travel configuration.
Overweight Items
The cost of standard shipping on heavier items shipped within the continental U.S. will range in price from $14.95 - $24.95 depending on the size and weight. To find out the exact cost of shipping, simply add the item to your cart and enter the required shipping info.
Kayaks & Paddle Boards
Kayaks and Stand Up Paddle Boards are only available for in-store pickup or local delivery within the Puget Sound area of Western Washington. Delivery is free within Kitsap County for boat and board purchases over $1000.00 and starts at $50.00 otherwise. The same topography which makes the Puget Sound area such a wonderful place to paddle, also makes it difficult for us to make deliveries. We all love riding the ferries, but they sure can get expensive!
We do not have the ability to ship Kayaks or SUP's outside of Western Washington at this time.
Other Charges
Address Corrections
We know things can change so address corrections do happen. If the correction is due to our error or if the package has not shipped from our facility there is no charge, so notify us as soon as possible. Once the package has shipped there is a service fee up to $15.00 to change the delivery address that is charged to us by the carrier. We may not be able to change the address once the package is in transit and it may have to be returned to us for reshipment. If that's the case then you will be liable for any additional shipping costs.
Returns & Exchanges
We understand that it can be difficult to get that perfect piece of gear the first time around. That is why here at Olympic Outdoor Center if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will grant a full refund or exchange the product for your preferred size or color. Customers are responsible for the shipping costs for returns and/or exchanges. OOC will pay the shipping costs, including shipping refunds, if the return is a result of our error or a manufacturing defect (return tracking number required). Learn More
