CIBC Summer Youth Watersports Camp Registration
This year marks the tenth anniversary the Channel Islands Boating Center is running their summer youth watersports camp for ages 8-16. The camp is revealing their new two-week class structure for sailing and stand up paddle board/windsurfing classes. The kayaking course remains at one week sessions.
The camp operates for six weeks throughout the summer and is led by CI’s trained and certified student assistants. Each week the campers will take a break from their instructional water activities and engage in various educational components at the Maritime Museum and Oxnard Marine Center.
Family and friends are encouraged to join their camper on Friday for lunch time activities and an hour of sailing and kayaking around the harbor. The camp is excited to offer a number of need based, full ride scholarships for a number of campers this summer. All skill levels are welcome!
