Our waterfront is on Sly Pond, a nearly 50 acre pond that is owned entirely by
the camp. Aquatics offers time for instructional swims for
non-swimmers and beginners to improve their swimming skills and confidence in
the water. Kayaking, Snorkeling, Mile Swim and B.S.A. Lifeguard are
offered at the waterfront as well as the following merit badges:
Canoeing,
Lifesaving,
Rowing,
Small-Boat Sailing,
Swimming.
B.S.A. Lifeguard can be a challenging way for a more experienced scout to spend the week. Open swimming and boating is offered daily at 4 PM.
The Aquatics area also offers many activities for the troop to consider for
evening program such as Water Polo, Whale Hunt, Surf Ball, Troop Swim and
Troop Boating. These are just a few ideas your Scouts can plan for
your troop. Remember safety comes first, last and always so plan to
the capability of your Scouts.
Scouts taking Swimming or Lifesaving merit badges, B.S.A. Lifeguard or the
Pioneer Program should remember to bring a pair of long pants, belt, socks &
shoes, and a button up long-sleeve shirt for clothing inflation requirement.
