The beach chairs can wait–Little Adventure Classes are here!

Our 60 to 75-minute outdoor sessions are FREE (yes, you read that right) and led by local marine and adventure experts. Each class is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and get kids exploring their wild side. Oh yeah, and they’ll have a little fun, too!

From paddleboarding to snorkeling to shoreline fishing, these interactive classes are kept small so that each participant gets plenty of attention, guidance and high-fives.

We’ll provide all the safety gear and equipment needed–just wear a swimsuit and bring your sense of adventure!

Classes run from April to August. Reserve your spot today.
