 One
of Sea Trek's goals is to turn kids onto kayaking. At
our day camp kids work together in two- and three-person
kayaks as a team paddling to a different destination
each day. Sea Trek's staff are trained to promote safety,
cooperation, communication, and most importantly, fun.
Each day is designed around these elements. Games are
non-competitive; instruction is geared towards instilling
the kids with self-confidence and mutual trust; and
the pace of each day takes into account each campers'
abilities. Our goal is to end the week with a round-trip
to Angel Island. However, Mother Nature and campers'
abilities can change that plan. Should this happen,
Sea Trek will provide transportation via the ferry to
Angel Island and back. Kayaks will be available on the
island for safe journeys along the islands protected
shoreline. Sea Trek provides a motorized safety boat
at all times, during each camp session, which will accompany
the campers should they paddle to and from Angel Island.

cream treat. A shuttle will pick us up and
bring us back to the beach at Sea Trek. After
cleaning and unloading, we'll close camp by
