On the Mediterranean shore of Sitges, Catalunya, Campus Náutico brings children aged 7–12 straight into the sea for a hands-on day of paddling, play and marine discovery. Operated by Nootka Kayak & Sup, the camp combines focused skill training—kayak parts and trim, paddle strokes, assisted rescues—with balance drills on stand-up paddleboards, team navigation on the Monster SUP XL and the unique experience of a Hawaiian outrigger canoe program promoted as the first of its kind in Catalunya. A typical day begins with optional free arrival between 8:30 and 9:00, followed by two hours of technical practice on equipment, on-water safety drills and playful navigation exercises. Mid-morning there’s a snack break and time to dry off, then an extended guided excursion exploring nearby coves and calm sea lanes in kayaks, paddleboards or the outrigger canoe. Lunch is provided for full-day campers at Hotel Sunway Playa Golf & Spa, where children eat and enjoy a supervised relaxation period before afternoon snorkel sessions, a visit to the Centre d’Estudis del Mar and team competitions that reinforce the day’s lessons. Final pick-up is approximately 15:00 after a tidy-up routine and a short landing debrief. The coastline here is defined by clear Mediterranean water, shallow rocky reefs and sandy pockets that offer safe, varied conditions for teaching tidal reading and wind awareness. Instructors emphasize real-world skills: effective forward and reverse paddling, boat propulsion techniques, re-entry and rescue procedures, and group signals for navigation. Beyond technique, the campus fosters environmental curiosity—participants practice low-impact beach awareness and learn about local marine species during CEM visits and guided snorkels. Practical requirements are simple but firm: campers must be comfortable swimming, and organizers ask families to bring a swimsuit, a change of clothes, synthetic rashguard or lycra, water shoes or trainers, a towel, a sun hat and waterproof sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Reservations are required at least 72 hours in advance. No prior paddling experience is necessary; instructors tailor progressions to individual ability so beginners can build confidence while more experienced children refine technique. Instructors hold open-water supervision and first-aid certifications, and sessions focus on small-group attention so each child progresses at a steady, safe pace. Campers receive an exclusive campus T-shirt and a brief skills certificate to take home, cementing achievements and encouraging kids to return to the water. Parents can explore Sitges and nearby trails while kids are supervised.
