What this program is.

A coastal camp built around the sea, not next to it. Most days have at least two water sessions. Non-swimmers welcome — we have a dedicated beginner pathway in protected zones.

Each child is grouped by swimming ability after a short test on day one (non-swimmer, basic, confident, strong). Sessions rotate between flat-water kayak, stand-up paddleboard, snorkel discovery, and structured swimming progression. Sailing intro on selected days for ages 12+. All in-water activities run with a 1:6 instructor ratio plus a lifeguard.

Beyond the water, kids run two marine ecology workshops with a local biologist (rock-pool census, plastic audit, dune-plant ID), one fishing-village visit, and daily sunset beach games. We don't pretend a beach camp is a science camp — but we make sure kids leave knowing why their playground matters.

Where this program runs.

Two coastal sites — one Atlantic, one Mediterranean. Different sea conditions, different vibes.

Asilah — Atlantic coast

Cooler water, bigger waves, long sandy beaches. Best for swimming progression and paddleboard.

Martil — Mediterranean coast

Warmer water, gentler waves, easier for non-swimmers and snorkel discovery. Boat trips on calm days.
He'd refused to put his face in the water for two years. After day four, he was snorkelling. The coach moved him up two levels in twelve days, and the safety briefing the parents got was more thorough than the one I read for my own scuba course.
