Boys & girls, ages 8 to 13, we have a fun week planned for you!

Day 1 - Learning to Paddle – We’ll start the day exploring the woods. Identifying birds, plants, and other critters. Back at the house, we will tie-dye shirts and play capture the flag. We will spend the rest of the morning learning how to paddle a kayak. Today will be spent on land learning how to properly wear life jackets, load and carry a boat, which paddles to use and learn basic paddle strokes, and many other paddle techniques. There will also be a lot of playing in the water throughout the day!

Day 2 - Getting Our Feet Wet (And Our Oars Wet) – We'll check our traps in the woods again, releasing any critters we may have caught overnight. Once at the house, we will do some arts and crafts, rock painting, and make a pine cone bird feeder. In the afternoon, we will put our boats in the water and paddle in front of the house. We will also try paddling a paddle-board and canoe. We will learn how to help others while in our boats.

Day 3 - Visit Lynches River County Park Environmental Discovery Center – After we explore the woods, we will load up to visit Lynches River County Park. We will spend a couple of hours here learning about the great outdoors. Once we’re back at RiverRats, we will do more water activities.

Day 4 - Paddling Lynches River – We will start by checking our critter nets, releasing anything we catch back into the wild. We will collect and learn about different leaves. We will do our first official paddle trip today!

Day 5 - Family Day – Today we would like to invite parents to join their children in paddling down Lynches River. The cost per adult is $25. Lunch will be provided after the paddle and campers will be dismissed. Camp ends after the family paddle trip, approximately 12pm.

Drop off time begins at 8:45 am and pick up time is 3:30 pm. We ask that each day, all campers bring an extra change of clothes, a swimsuit that is suitable for outdoor activities, and a towel. Please bring sunscreen and bug spray as well as a mid-morning snack. Lunch will be provided:

Monday - sandwiches with chips and fruit
Tuesday - hotdogs, chips and fruit
Wednesday - subs, chips, and fruit
Thursday - sandwiches, chips, and fruit
Friday - pizza

Please feel free to pack your child a bag lunch if that is preferred.

While RiverRats Kid’s Camp is loved by many, it may not be a camp for all. We are outdoors the entire week. Your child must be able to endure the heat for fun to be had.
