Part of Cayman Summer Splash this year is a world-class skateboarding program called Skate Cayman, the first of its kind in the Caribbean. Skate Cayman is a brand new internationally recognized skateboard camp in the Cayman Islands at Black Pearl Skate & Surf Park (the world’s second-largest skate park) that will bring top skateboarders from around the globe to the island to assist with instruction and provide exciting demos. Skate Cayman will offer families, especially those with children who are skateboard enthusiasts, yet another reason to travel this summer.

Another component of this year’s Summer Splash is Sir Turtle’s Sea School, back by popular demand. Held at Boatswain’s Beach, Sea School is a free afternoon program for kids ages 5 to 11 that gives children (and their parents) a chance to learn about marine life, historic shipwrecks, and Caymanian heritage and culture. At Sir Turtle’s Sea School, kids can participate in hands-on activities such as arts and crafts projects, interactive storytelling, treasure hunts, marine ecology lessons, and even holding turtles.
