Our Activities:
We know this sport very well because we practiced it for years and this is why we know how to teach it to children. There is a lot of fun we can do with boards that slide over the water and, as an exercise, you will be impressed with the muscles you will have to use. It is also excellent to overcome fears and achieve new goals, always following safety rules required by this activity.
We start off with knowing our boat, how it turns over and straightens up, the different ways to paddle and when to use them, if we carry baggage where to place it. Then we spend good times with all the games we have to learn for this sport and challenge ourselves to always be better, and understanding the security measures to keep playing safely.
It is wonderful when you can run the boat in the best way to harness the wind – it is something enormously satisfying. This activity will teach them how to analyze the wind, how to maneuver in order to go to where we want to, to mount and dismount the sails and the boat’s components; that it’s easy to prevent the wind from turning us over and that it’s easy to straighten it if it does happen. It is very important to take the measures for maximum security as required by this activity.
We plunge into an adventure full of action and magic, where anything is possible, each child can be who he or she wants to be, creating their own character. We challenge them to fulfill the adventure that awaits them within this fantasy world, set in the medieval times where knights rescue their princesses and when there still are dragons and sorcerers against who they have to fight. It is an activity where imagination is used to create this adventure where they cannot wait for the next day in order to continue it. Definitely, one of the most requested activities from campers of all ages.
We challenge anyone who wants to hit the target, using bows and wooden arrows we teach children to sharpen their marksmanship. During the season we lead them through the different difficulties of the activities in order to improve their skills.
We take advantage of the common, new and traditional sports to practice outdoor activities and promote team values and to have fun within healthy competition. The sports we play are soccer, kicking ball, volleyball, hand ball and camp sports like flag football, mumble and all types of fun in our free time.
To pitch a tent, light a fire, walk in the forest; prepare a good hiking backpack, cut wood and weeds, some basic knots, orientation with compasses. These are some of the things we teach campers to prepare for the adventure of an excursion. So when they go out to nature they will be prepared to make the right decisions so it can be a well-prepared adventure.
Loosen the reins of the imagination of children to create and helping them shape their ideas using paint, cardboard, clay, glue, and many materials, we extract the artist within each of the children who want to express their creativity.
