Nā Kama Kai Ocean Clinic

Every month, Nā Kama Kai runs a free clinic offering a bunch of interactive activities to teach kids 2 to 17 years old about the ocean and conservation. Keiki will try out equipment including canoes, surfboards, stand up paddle boards and more with experienced watermen and women, then learn various skills from how to navigate using the stars, how to read ocean safety signs and how trash can hurt ocean life.

Life jackets are available by request. Preregister to avoid a wait that day. Clinics begin every half hour between 9 and 11 a.m.
