Group programs work well for most kids, but some situations call for something more tailored — a private lesson, a small friend group, or a one-off event.

When Private Lessons Make Sense

  • Significant water anxiety: one-on-one attention can move faster than a group setting allows.
  • Advanced skill focus: a kid ready to push past group-pace curriculum.
  • Special occasions: birthday groups or family reunions wanting a shared ocean experience.

How It Works

A private Sea League group session

Our Custom & Private Groups program is built session by session around what your family actually needs, rather than a fixed curriculum. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll build a session around it — get in touch to start planning.

Sea League is fiscally sponsored by Wilderness Youth Project, our parent organization.
