EXPLORE │ PLAY │ BUILD COMMUNITY

Make friends with the ocean.

Like little league for nature connection.

The ocean instantly connects youth with wild nature, promoting a healthy lifestyle and fostering a sense of stewardship. We mentor kids through ocean-based recreation, where they can learn, have fun, and build meaningful relationships - emphasizing connection over competition.

TESTIMONIALS

"I've noticed a difference. The kids seem happier. Not just exercised but with a peace of mind - like they have a sense of freedom.

Ages 7-11 Sea League Parent
"Can't say enough wonderful things about the program and staff. Y'all obviously care about the kids and providing a great experience. I really appreciate the variety of activities included as well as unstructured time for individual interests. Also liked the 2 overnights, gave us a chance to dip a toe in the sleep away experience. Many thanks again. You are all amazing and wonderful humans<3"

Summer Camp Parent
DO IT! Sea League has been one of the most empowering programs for our child. He would not even go in the ocean before being apart of TSL from a previous negative experience in the ocean. After just one afternoon with Sea League, our child found the love, joy and fun again while also learning respect and appreciate for the ocean. So many of the other ocean based camps can be focused on competition and skills while Sea League has been focused on fun, respect and education. He has built a new found confidence in himself while also pushing himself to experience and do new things that he might not have done before. The community, care and support provided from all the coaches has been something we will forever be grateful for and we can not wait for the next Sea League adventure.
