🌊 We have some very big news to share with you all! 🌊

We’ve been eagerly waiting to announce that after being known as Center Activities for 43 years, we are now rebranding to Outdoor Adventures! As Cal Poly Humboldt continues to undergo a transformation, we’re embracing the change and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.

Rest assured, our program offerings remain the same—full of adventure, learning, and connection with nature. The name may change, but the heart of our organization remains the same. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you under our new name.

Safety first on Humboldt Bay! Today’s focus: tidal swings. 🌊

Our bay experiences significant tidal swings, drastically altering paddling conditions. For instance, this morning’s low tide at 10:58 AM was -0.45 ft, with a high tide of 6.64 ft expected at 6:10 PM! That’s nearly a 7-foot change in just 7 hours! 🕰️

During low tide, you can see the bay floor’s mudflats, highlighting extreme tidal conditions. These swings can create powerful currents, particularly challenging for small vessels like kayaks and paddleboards. Smaller swings offer a more relaxed paddle. 🚣‍♀️

Join us at the Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center this weekend for optimal paddling conditions: Saturday 6/29 (9:30 AM - 2 PM) and Sunday 6/30 (8:30 AM - 3 PM). Rent gear and enjoy the bay safely! 🛶
