Blessing of the Sail Camp Fleet

Held at the W&WLC the first Friday afternoon following Memorial Day weekend, Sail Camp families are invited to meet the Instruction staff and join us in the time-honored tradition of blessing the fleet and all who sail with her in the season ahead. 

Full Moon Paddles

Full Moon Paddle series are monthly fundraisers during the summer season. The cost is $35 with all funds going to the Baldwin County Child Advocacy Center. The events include catered hors d'oeuvres, entertainment by a local musician, and a guided paddle on Wolf Bay to watch the sunset and moon rise. Dinner and entertainment start at 6 pm, with the kayaks launching at 7 pm, and back by 9 pm.

Pre-registration is required. Registration closes at noon the day before each scheduled event. Online registration is available at Eventbrite. Also, forms are available at Orange Beach City Hall, Coastal Resources, and Wind and Water Learning Center. Bring your own paddle craft or rent a kayak from the W&WLC for the event (additional charge). 

Alabama Coastal Cleanup

The Wind and Water Learning Center is an official Cleanup Zone for the Alabama Coastal Cleanup. The largest volunteer event in the State of Alabama happens annually on the third Saturday in September from 8 am to Noon. Volunteers in the W&WLC's cleanup zone focus on the waters and shorelines of Wolf Bay, Bay La Launch, and Ingram's Bayou. Arrive by boat, kayak, bike, or car! Want to clean up by kayak but don't have one? Call and ask about borrowing some of ours for the event. "Picking up litter benefits you, your community, and the Gulf. More than 100,000 volunteers have assisted in this event since Alabama joined the International Coastal Cleanup in 1987. We are grateful to the many helping hands and hearts who have pitched in to benefit our priceless natural resources" (Alabama Coastal Cleanup, 2022). 

Pumpkin Paddle

In celebration of Halloween, the W&WLC hosts a sunset costumed paddle the second Friday evening in October. Bring your own paddle craft or rent a kayak from the W&WLC for the event. Stay afterwards for a costume contest and a festive bay front party with live music. There are prizes  from local businesses for best costumes and decorated kayaks, SUPs, and canoes. If you don’t want to go out on the water with us, you’re welcome to join in on the fun after the paddle.
