Campus Náutico: Nootka Kayak & SUP Kids Camp in Sitges – Learn Kayak, SUP & Canoa Hawaiana

Campus Náutico at Nootka Kayak & SUP in Sitges, Catalunya offers kids aged 7–12 a hands-on, five-days-a-week summer day camp that turns the Mediterranean shoreline into a classroom and playground. Each morning begins at the meeting point, Nootka Kayak & SUP, where instructors fit life jackets and introduce the skills that will shape the day: parts of a kayak, safety gear, rescue techniques and efficient paddling. Mornings mix technical drills with games on calm bays; mid-morning, campers refuel with a relaxed breakfast before setting out on guided excursions. Afternoons expand the toolkit: paddle surf (single, double and L), Monster SUP team challenges, and a rare chance to try a canoa hawaiana—honored here as a first for Catalunya—teach balance, crew coordination and ocean awareness. Snorkel sessions among Posidonia meadows and short visits to the Centre d’Estudis del Mar (CEM) add a marine-science angle, helping children recognize local flora and fauna while learning to minimize their footprint. Logistics are built for family life. Standard sessions run about four hours with options extending to 15:00 that include lunch at Hotel Sunway Playa Golf & Spa and supervised play. Nootka supplies all equipment, locker access, certified instruction and insurance; every camper leaves with an exclusive campus t-shirt. The day is structured—arrival, nautical training, breakfast, excursion, cleanup, lunch and games—so parents know exactly what to expect while kids get a full, predictable rhythm that still leaves room for spontaneous discovery. What sets this program apart is the blend of skill development and local connection: hands-on paddling technique taught in real coastal conditions, organized team challenges on the Monster SUP, and a thoughtful introduction to Catalan maritime culture via the CEM and shoreline exploration. The Sitges coastline itself—sheltered coves, clear water and seabeds of Posidonia—creates safe learning conditions with abundant marine life to spot during snorkeling. Instructors emphasize safety, basic rescue and environmental stewardship so kids build physical confidence and respect for the sea. This is a smart pick for families who want active, educational days that emphasize self-sufficiency, teamwork and an early love of marine recreation. Whether your child is taking their first paddle strokes or advancing toward independent excursions, Campus Náutico offers progressive, instructor-led programming in one of Catalonia's most accessible seaside towns. Sessions follow small-group coaching and progressive skill tracks so instructors tailor drills for beginners and returning campers. Parents get daily progress notes and photos of on-water activities. The program's insured, certified staff follow local safety protocols for sea state and weather. For families seeking confidence-building, new friendships, and active outdoor days, Campus Náutico at Nootka Kayak & SUP delivers structured learning, imaginative play and a hands-on introduction to marine science that keeps children engaged and parents confident year after year too.
