Kids Camp
Welcome to Kids Camp!
The Big Winds campus is closed for autumn, 2008 and winter, 2009 and will reopen in May, 2009. In the meantime, dream about this:
Our Kids Camp is a 4-day program that is ideal for introducing kids to windsurfing in a fun and encouraging camp setting. Our camp is specially designed for children ages 7 to 13 and takes place at our private beach inside the Hook, a windy yet protected lagoon right here in Hood River.
Our instructors have developed a fun and positive environment for teaching kids how to windsurf. We use the latest specialized, lightweight gear to guarantee success. The camp teaches all skill-levels, including basic sailing, harness use, footstraps and waterstarting. Big Winds Kids Camp is a blast!

Big Winds Advanced Junior Camp
Our Advanced Junior Camps are designed for kids at least 10 years old who have a significant windsurfing background already.
The focus of these camps is on waterstarting and higher wind techniques such as harness use, footstrap use, and jibing. All equipment is included and these camps take place on the outside of the Hook in deeper, more open water.
Are you ready for this camp? You must be 10 years or older, a strong swimmer, and an experienced windsurfer (are waterstarting or are close to it, and have experience using a harness).
All camps run in the afternoon from 1:00-4:00.
