Ocean Tips At Kainalu Academy

Students interested in touring North Shore’s famed beaches should consider Kainalu Academy: two five-day camps in August focused on ocean safety, recreation and education, and based at Turtle Bay.

Scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 4-8 and Aug. 11-15, the camps are taught by Dolan Eversole and Ian Masterson, who cover safety, rescue, coastal geography, Hawaiian culture, health and more. Students ages 10 to 18 will spend time in the ocean daily to surf, paddle, stand-up paddle, snorkel, sail and Jet-ski, dividing their time between Turtle Bay Resort and North Shore beaches.

Applicants must be proficient swimmers able to pass a swim test. Instructors are all lifeguard-certified with at least five years of experience.

Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. Fee is $800 for the full program, or $200 per day, which includes transportation, meals, snacks and a Kainalu Academy-branded hat and rash guard.
