General Information:
The CAOS Paddlesports Camp for 11-13 year old campers is a day camp designed to introduce the basic skills related to a variety of paddlesports on flat and moving water. The camp will be facilitated by faculty and/or staff of the Garrett College Center for Adventure and Outdoor Studies. Among other things, participants will learn about equipment, paddle strokes and river dynamics.
Monday-Wednesday participants will meet with the camp instructors at the Garrett College Community Aquatics & Recreation Complex (CARC) at 9 a.m. Participants and instructors will return to the CARC at 12:30 p.m. on these days.

Campers will travel in Garrett College vehicles from the CARC to a paddling site that is appropriate to the paddlers’ ability levels and to the current weather conditions.
