Camp Echo Kids Club games on the beach.
Paradise isn’t just for adults. When families visit the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort their children are in for an excellent experience as well. Camp Echo offers a wide variety of kid friendly camp activities seven days a week. Children 5 to 12 are invited to participate. Certain activities are free and others have a fee. Examples of activities that have a fee are pottery painting, beading bracelets and PJ parties. Parent supervision is required for certain Camp Echo activities so be certain to ask which activities you’re required to attend. This means you’ll never hear, “I’m bored.” and this program offers mom and dad a few hours a day to simply be a couple or have a few hours to lounge on the beach and enjoy some much needed down time.
Camp Echo has a weekly schedule of activities with the times listed so that parents and children alike can plan their sightseeing and resort time according to which Camp Echo activities they would like to participate in. During my stay at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort the kid’s camp activities were diverse. Monday through Friday activities began at ten a.m. and ran through five p.m. On Saturday and Sunday activities began at eleven a.m. and ran through five p.m. Some of the coolest beach activities included sand football, water bucket races, sandcastle building, sand darts and beach volleyball. As well as active outdoor activities there were also opportunities to paint pottery, take Merengue lessons, bead bracelets, take a picture with the parrots, feed the turtles, or throw water balloons.
As well as scheduled kid camp activities families will delight in the snorkeling right off the beach at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort. The hotel, in an effort to protect the beach has created a man made reef which has now become home to hundreds of tropical fish and a variety of sea life. As I snorkeled I saw a nice variety of beautiful, colorful fish swimming within and among the reef balls. A little banana bread or a few dog treats bring a wave of fish around in moments. Here you can experience what swimming with sea life is really like. Best of all the water is shallow and perfect for all ages and abilities; so whether you choose Camp Echo kids camp or simply snorkeling with your kids on 7 Mile Beach it will be a vacation experience to treasure at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort.
