Waterfront

Polar Bear Swim- Attention early risers! The Polar Bear swim will be held daily at 6:15 a.m. Each morning (except Thursday) will begin with a calisthenics followed by a quick dip in the lake. Be sure to bring a towel and warm clothes for after the swim. It's not called Polar Bear for nothing! A special patch is available for all those who tough it out. We hope to see you there.

Mile Swim - For those that are dedicated swimmers, the Mile Swim is for you! The training sessions will be held concurrently with Polar Bear (6:15 a.m.) each day. The mile swim itself will be arranged for Friday afternoon.

BSA Snorkeling - Offered Friday afternoons to instruct in basic snorkeling technique.

Instructional Swim is available to help non-swimmers and beginners become swimmers!!!

Open boating and opening swimming are held daily from 3:00-5:00 p.m. You MUST have a buddy to get in, no exceptions.

BSA Lifeguard is available to adults and qualified scouts. It is extremely time consuming, so be prepared to spend the better part of your week at the Waterfront! It is also highly recommended that scouts be certified in CPR for the Professional Rescuer prior to coming to camp.

Kayaking has been a hit since it was introduced several years ago. This year promises to be even better! See the Waterfront Director details.

Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat - will be offered during siesta on Tuesday to interested Scoutmasters.

Tower Duty - Leaders, we can always use an extra pair of eyes. See the waterfront director to sign up for tower duty. We appreciate the help.
