For Kids

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!
