Kids must stay in their groups for the duration of stay unless there are problems with other campers.

All our Activities are carefully planned and professionally overseen by US Coast Guard licensed captains, instructors and lifelong seamen. This aids in the supervision and leads to a safe, flexible, fun environment. Campers wear life jackets and helmets at all times and are supervised by Licensed instructors as well as Pediatric CPR/First certified Trip Leader on every activity. All counselor are certified beach/surf life guards.

Our program is modeled after the most exclusive, all water sports programs around the world. With careful thought and consideration, given to every single detail. Camp Maritime is geared for children ages 5-16. For all participants to have the best experience, kids must be at least aged 5 a week prior to their enrollment date.

Your child must be capable of light exertion as well as be overall healthy. Beyond that, we ask that your child has a readiness to try new things and participate fully in fun group activities. Each camper will have responsibilities and their willingness to perform them will allow the entire group to have an awesome summer. It’s all about building trust, learning new skills and having tons of fun. On the first day of camp your child will be given a basic swimming test by our Red Cross Certified Aquatics Director to assess their skill and comfortability in the water. Your child does not need to know how to swim. (All children wear life jackets at all times) this sense in capital letters and bolder.

We have approximately 5 to 1 camper to counselor ratio but some of our activities even require 1 on 1 instructor to camper ratio. It’s all about the campers needs.

There is never a dull moment at Camp Maritime. We have exclusive access to a huge local pool where we practice stand up paddle boarding, swimming, kayaking and scuba diving. We also go on awesome maritime theme trips. Below is a list of some of the maritime choices available.
