Making Waves: Embracing Adventure with Stand Up Paddling at WeHaKee

At WeHaKee Camp for Girls, we understand that summer camp is a special opportunity for young girls to explore new interests, develop essential skills, and create unforgettable memories. That’s why we’re thrilled to include stand up paddling (SUP) in our diverse range of activities, giving girls the chance to experience the excitement and serenity of this popular water sport in a fun, supportive, and empowering environment.

Stand up paddling is more than just a thrilling outdoor activity; it offers numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Here’s why SUP is a fantastic addition to the WeHaKee Camp for Girls experience:

1. Balance and Coordination: Stand up paddling requires girls to maintain balance and stability on their paddleboard, which helps improve coordination, core strength, and overall body control. These skills can be beneficial in other sports and everyday activities.
2. Cardiovascular Fitness: SUP is an excellent cardiovascular workout that helps improve endurance, heart health, and overall fitness. As girls paddle through the water, they engage their entire body, providing a low-impact yet effective exercise.
3. Mindfulness and Stress Relief: Stand up paddling encourages girls to be present in the moment, focusing on their movements, breathing, and surroundings. This mindful practice can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and foster a deeper connection with nature.
4. Confidence and Self-Esteem: As girls master the art of SUP, they build confidence in their abilities and develop a sense of accomplishment. This newfound self-esteem can have a positive impact on other aspects of their lives, encouraging them to take on new challenges with courage and determination.

At Camp WeHaKee, our stand up paddling program is designed for campers of all ages and skill levels. Our experienced instructors prioritize safety and provide comprehensive training in the fundamentals of SUP, including proper stance, paddling techniques, and maneuvering. Our beautiful waterfront location offers the perfect setting for girls to immerse themselves in this exhilarating activity.

In addition to stand up paddling, we also offer a wide range of other activities, such as cooking, soccer, archery, arts and crafts, dance, theater, and music. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and engaging camp experience, allowing every girl to explore her passions and develop new talents.

Whether your daughter is a seasoned paddleboarder or looking to try something new, she’ll have a blast at WeHaKee Camp for Girls. Our SUP program is just one of the many fun activities we offer for girls ages 7-17. From outdoor adventure to the arts, there’s something for everyone.
