Description: Our Saturday “Ocean Groms” afternoons are fun and educational stand up paddle board programs designed for kids ages 7-14. Kids will learn how to stand up paddle while exploring the waters of the Saanich Inlet with a Paddle Canada certified SUP instructor and marine biologist. A passion for the ocean, in all of it’s manifestations, will be promoted. Highlights include: water safety, SUP technique, SUP games, ocean literacy, the biology and ecology of local marine species, present day conservation concerns and the benefits of being outdoors, active and on the water.

Curiosity and laughter is encouraged!

Skill Level: Beginner to Advanced

Notes: Numbers are limited. A perfect opportunity for caregivers to enjoy a little R&R in a sometimes hectic summer. Kick back on our deck, visit one of the local bistros for a bite or even go for your own paddle while we engage your active “groms" for the afternoon.

What is a GROM?

A grommet (grom) is a term that originated in the surfing world and has come to mean a young participant in action sports. Through fun and education our Ocean Groms learn to love both Stand Up Paddling and the ocean they paddle in. We strive to foster action in both sport and ocean advocacy.
