Swimming & Watersports

Waterskiing is an activity that most everyone wants to try at camp. With our 2 state-of-the-art, Malibu skiboats, we can get everyone on the lake for many spins. Personal instruction at your comfort level starts on the dock. Campers learn on both the tow rope and the fixed boom to build confidence. More experienced waterskiers can try the kneeboard, wakeboard, slalom skiing or barefoot. Interested in inflatables? We have those too. This is what camp is all about!
