For Kids
Summer is over, but the fun does not have to end! Calema Junior Team is gearing up for a year full of Windsurfing. Juniors/Kids ages 11 & up – who have reached the afternoon camp skill level are eligible to join! The team is primarily a Windsurfing Team – but occasionally – the team will also Sail, Kayak or SUP depending on weather and training plans! Our team is led by the Calema Staff – with some days self-practice and others involving active instruction in racing, freestyle and advanced skills.
Team 2011-2012 will start on Saturday, May 20th! Registration in advance is required and team memberships are limited to the first 20 registrants each quarter!
Info and dates on our Summer Camps for 2012 will be posted by the end of December 2011!
Calema teaches all ages year round. But the summer is a perfect time to learn, especially if you are a kid! That’s the time for Summer Kid’s Camps! A typical day at Calema is lighter breezes in the morning, then just after noon, the wind picks up. We schedule our camps to take advantage of the predictable conditions – kayaking and beginner windsurfers and sailors in the morning then as the wind builds – the watersports camps go sailing and the more advanced windsurfing kids hit the water. The energy can’t be beat at Kelly Park on a Summer Day!
Kid’s Windsurfing Camps
Windsurfing camps are offered 3 days/week (M,W,F) from 9am-12pm for beginners ages 8-17. Afternoon camps from 1pm-3pm are for experienced campers ages 11-17. Campers will be able to windsurf on their own by the end of the week as well as safety skills and self-rescue techniques. Our fully certified staff is ready to introduce your children to a lifetime of fun! Registration is limited to 24 campers/week so sign up early. Windsurfing camps are $150/1st week, $125 for the 2nd & 3rd weeks and the 4th camp is FREE – any combination of camps among family members!
Kid’s Watersports Camps
Watersports Camps were started just a few years ago, but have grown to be our most popular camp. It is a full week camp – M,T,W,Th,F from 9am-3pm (with extended hours possible) and includes Windsurfing, Kayaking, Sailing and Stand-Up Paddling (SUP) as well as wildlife encounters and river exploration. Kids from 10-17 are welcome to attend and no previous skill in any of the sports is necessary. In addition to learning to windsurf and sail – we take a kayak/SUP trip to nearby islands for a cookout. Cost is $325/week – with the 4th camp FREE among family members. With 4 camps – it averages out to only $245/week!
Kid’s Kayaking/SUP Camps
Kayak and NEW Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) Camps are offered 2 day/week (T,TH) from 9am-12pm for kids ages 10-17. Campers will learn the basic strokes and safety of kayaking and SUP and then we will tour the river as a group and explore wildlife both above and below the water – so bring along snorkel gear! Registration is limited to 10 campers/week so sign up early. Kayak camps are $85/week and include all equipment. Don’t forget – 4th camp is FREE – any combination of camps among family members.
Kid’s Sailing Camps
Sailing Camps are offered 3 day/week (M,W,F) from 9:30am-12:30pm** for kids ages 10-17. **Last camp of summer – August 1,3,5 – will be held 12:30-3:30pm
Campers will learn the basics of sailing and will experience both monohull and multihull boats hands-on. Working in both small groups and as a “crew” on a larger boat – they will learn both self-reliance and teamwork as they glide over the Banana River while learning everything from tacking to jibing and even righting a capsized boat. Limited to only 8 campers/week so sign up early. Sailing camps are $160/week. Can be combined with other Calema Camps for the “4th camp FREE” offer! We are initially offering 4 weeks of Sailing Camps, more may be added depending on demand.

How about a custom camp for your group?
Anytime during the year, we would love to put together a “camp” for any large group — for a birthday, homeschool group, scouts, youth group or even a group of “kids at heart”. We can do a windsurfing, sailing, SUP, kayak or a combination of all that we offer. Just drop us an email or give us a call for more info!
Calema JUNIOR TEAM
Junior Team is our year round windsurfing/sailing/SUP/Kayak opportunity for youth ages 11+ to continue in watersports. Empasis of team is on Windsurfing and Sailing, but on those no wind days, team members can kayak and SUP, too! We set apart 2 times each week during the school year – currently TH & Saturday afternoons – for a supervised practice/rental session. All youth that reach the afternoon camp ability are invited to join, and those that were only in the morning camps can get some additional instruction to bring them up to the minimum team level.
