Campers will strengthen their water skills by learning how to paddle and sail on Marsh Creek Lake! Water safety instruction is provided throughout the week to ensure a well-rounded experience. Campers will take part in four rotating activities each day, at least three of which will be on the water.
In addition to our favorites – paddle boarding, kayaking, and multiple sailing disciplines – daily camp activities are selected based on wind conditions and may include cooperative games such as capture the flag, frisbee, sponge tag, and more. Activities are designed to build confidence, hone new skills, encourage team building, and discover untapped talent.

Summer Camp Information
Bathing suits are a must! Campers can either wear just a bathing suit or wear a t-shirt/rash guard and shorts over it. Please pack sneakers or other appropriate footwear for when groups play land-based games. Sunscreen is CRITICAL. Life jackets will be provided or campers can bring their own!
There are three designated 30-minute lunch times that are separated by groups. Children may bring a bagged lunch and we will keep it refrigerated if needed. Make sure your child has a water bottle and plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day! We also have a snack bar that has hot dogs, chicken nuggets and tenders, pizza, soft pretzels, French fries, ice cream, water ice and cold drinks.
Please arrive at 8:30am on your first day (and everyday of each session). We will show you where your child can keep their bag, settle any financial obligations, collect release forms, fit your child for a life jacket, and organize them into their groups.
We watch the radar very carefully both before and during camp. If a storm pops up during camp, we safely get the kids off the water and inside. If it is just light rain, we will still have camp and be on the water. In the unlikely event that we decide to cancel a day of camp, we will send an email before 8:00am. to notify you of the cancellation.
In the event that we must cancel a day of camp due to weather or other adverse conditions, we will schedule a make-up day. If a make-up day of camp cannot be scheduled, a refund will be issued for that day of camp. The maximum refund amount for 1 day of camp is $100 or $135 if you chose the After Camp option. Campers who cancel by EOD the Friday of the week prior to their session of camp will be eligible for a full refund or to reschedule for another available session. No-show campers or late cancellations will not be eligible for any refund amount.
If a day of camp needs to be cancelled due to weather, make-up days will be added to the the enrollment page of the parent portal. Families will be notified via their preferred communication method to enroll in a make-up day. Make-up days will be offered on Mondays and Fridays. Campers are welcome to enroll in individual make-up days as they become available even if they are not making up a day from a prior session, but would like to attend an additional day of camp that week.
