Have Paddle, Will Survive

Would you have what it takes to survive if we sent you on your way with just a kayak and a compass? By the end of this week-long adventure to the lesser-known places on Sanibel, we promise you will. We’ll leave no shell unturned and inspect every nook and cranny of the mangroves, and we’re doing it by kayak! We’ll master basic paddle strokes, tow those in need, and learn what to do if you flip your boat. The plan includes learning to use compasses, fire-starting contests, and shelter-building competitions. We will also learn basic first aid and figure out how to find food and water in the wilderness. At the end of the week, we’ll camp out on a remote island to put what we’ve learned to the test, followed by an epic surprise quest planned for the last day. The conditions will be primitive, and the bugs will be many, but the memories made will be unforgettable.

*Includes an overnight camping trip from Thursday to Friday*

Ages 13 – 17
