Wind-N-Waves Junior (Ages 6–8) – Myers Park
Full-Day Introductory Watersports Program
Wind-N-Waves Junior is Paddle-N-More’s foundational watersports program for younger campers. Designed specifically for ages 6–8, this full-day experience introduces children to the water through structured play, beginner paddling instruction, exploration, and age-appropriate challenges.
Campers spend their day learning how to move confidently in aquatic environments while building balance, coordination, and a sense of adventure.
What the Program Includes
