Campers express their creativity in the Hobbit House, where visual art projects take many forms and use a huge variety of media. Campers draw, sculpt, tie-dye, paint, and create with the help of skilled and supportive arts and crafts counselors.

Swimming
All campers have swimming lessons and free swim every day. At Riverlea, our swim counselors instruct campers according to the Red Cross 7 Levels of swimming. This provides structure to our swim program, but also enables campers and parents alike to see and understand the progress each camper makes throughout the session. Beginning swimmers learn the basics of becoming comfortable and safe in the water, floating, and the basics of elementary swim strokes. As campers improve their skills and comfort in the water, they practice more advanced strokes and skills, according to their level, with lap swimming, games, and relays. All of our swimming counselors are certified lifeguards, and at least one is a certified Water Safety Instructor. Our goal is for all campers at Riverlea to feel safe and comfortable in the water and to improve their swimming skill level and sense of self-efficacy and discipline.
