Aquatics

 

  • All aquatic related classes require campers to pass the BSA Swim Check.
  • There are 3 designations for our campers:
    • Non-Swimmer
    • Beginner Swimmer
    • Swimmer (Camper must attain "Swimmer" to participate in lake activites to include: paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, sailing, catamaran sailing, mortorboating and water sports)
  • This is an assement of your camper's swimming abilities according to BSA Swimmer Requirements. This is not a Pass or Fail test, just an assesment and the camper can retake the Swim Check again at any time during the week.
