Swimming and Lifeguard Training
Webb Lake, fed by natural springs and mountain streams, provides an inviting place to boat and swim. The Kawanhee campus is arced around a cove that is home to Kawanhee’s swimming program. The cove is a busy hub, especially on warm July days, and offers a sandy beach and a dedicated swimming area, defined by docks, a floating safety line and several lifeguard stations.

Sailing
For some campers, there’s nothing more exhilarating than skippering a sailboat in a stiff breeze and reckoning with the challenges of maintaining a full sail. Our sailing program is fortunate to have an impressive variety of boats to suit the needs and interests of sailors of all ages. We have antique wooden Cape Cod knockabouts, fiberglass Sunfish, a Hobie Cat catamaran and a fleet of Flying Junior racing dinghies, among others. Some guys love to sail just to be out on the water, letting Mother Nature do the work. Others prefer competitive racing and look forward to regattas offered throughout the summer.
