Operated by SUPspirit · Hoorn, North Holland
Hoorn, a historic port town on the shores of the Markermeer in North Holland, offers a refreshing aquatic playground perfect for families seeking something different. SUPspirit’s SUP Kidz experience transforms this scenic waterfront into an energetic classroom on water, designed exclusively for children aged 8 to 11. This isn’t your average birthday party—instead, it is a dynamic 75-minute stand-up paddleboarding session that weaves instruction with adventure, set against the gentle currents and open skies of one of the Netherlands’ charming harbor towns.
The appeal is in the details: each child receives expert coaching tailored to their age and skill, using top-notch gear for safety and ease. Beyond the thrill of balancing on water, kids take home more than memories—they earn a SUP diploma, an inspiring memento that marks the accomplishment of mastering new skills in a supportive environment. The flexibility of SUPspirit means the experience can be hosted at a variety of local waterfront spots, adapting to your party’s preferences.
This innovative offering slots perfectly into Hoorn’s rich outdoor culture, where cycling and watersports have long been a way to connect with both nature and history. The Markermeer is known for its diverse birdlife and flat waters, ideal for beginners finding their footing, and the nearby historical harbor offers a striking backdrop of old warehouses and sailboats. SUPspirit’s attention to youth engagement helps cultivate a new generation’s passion for water activities while emphasizing safety and fun.
Turning a child’s birthday into an active, skill-building event distinguishes SUP Kidz in the Dutch adventure scene.
