At Aquehonga our goal is that every Scout becomes a swimmer and every swimmer becomes a lifesaver! Swimming instruction and recreational swimming are done at the pool. All sailing, boating and canoeing are done at the lake. Orientation is required prior to using waterfront facilities. Swimming tests are given after check-in.

Qualifications - Monday through Thursday at 7:15 p.m.
All must attend these qualification classes to complete the Mile Swim on Friday night.

We suggest that Scouts have Swimming, Rowing, Lifesaving and First Aid merit badges before starting. Scouts must plan to spend majority of their time in the aquatics area. (minimum 4 hours per day and age 14).
To complete the CPR requirement, there will be an opportunity to obtain certification at camp for a small fee, unless certification is received before camp.

There are limits on the number of Scouts who can participate in the session, so signing up at the Sunday Merit Badge Sign-up is imperative.

Offered Tuesday through Friday morning from 6:30 to 7:00 a.m. at the pool.

Available by appointment. Interested Senior Patrol Leaders/Scoutmasters should schedule this with the Aquatics Director.

Open boating is available in afternoon and evening hours. Minimum qualifications are necessary to use all water craft (see aquatic rules).

Offered on Thursday. Must sign up with the Program Director. All persons planning to go on the trip must be in camp by 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday with a completed medical in order to complete the Swimmer's dock test for the trip.
