The Forebay Aquatic Center's Summer Camp with a focus on boating and water safety!

Welcome to another fantastic year of camp! Campers learn to master crafts in a safe and exciting environment, including Kayaking, Orienteering, and Stand-up Paddle Boarding. While at camp, campers will play games to learn about local wildlife, learn lifelong skills, and work on team-building activities. We will continue to bring in special guests! A new guest will teach the campers specific subject knowledge in depth each week! Examples include the local fire department, state park rangers, bird or fish experts, and more! We are also continuing Family Fun Fridays! Family Fun Friday will allow your camper(s) to teach up to four family members what they learned that week, offering two hours of free rentals from 12:00-2:00 pm! We highly encourage all families to participate and spend time with one another!

All experience levels welcome!
