Activity Concentrations
Our individualized instruction is enhanced by activity concentrations, which are optional and available to campers of all ages. Each camper, if she desires, may participate in one activity six days a week for increased skill instruction. Daily instruction is offered in water skiing, Western and English horseback riding, swimming, tennis, golf or computers. Campers also have the option to take any or all of these activities three days a week instead of daily.


Waterskiing
Campers may ski everyday if they desire! We offer lessons for beginners to advanced skiers, slalom courses, trick skis, wake-boarding, knee-boarding, and boom for beginners. We were written up in Water Ski Magazine as one of the "top Ten" recommended ski camps in America!

Tennis
Daily instruction is offered for campers who want to improve their tennis skills. We follow the United States Tennis Association (USTA) program. Our skilled instructors teach small group lessons to approximately six campers at a time. Advanced players may participate in an optional tournament at the end of each session.

Horseback Riding
Campers may ride six days a week if they choose. We offer both Western and English instruction on camp grounds, and are proud to follow the Camp Horsemanship Association's (CHA'S) riding program. Our skilled riding instructors teach beginners through advanced riders. Trail rides, animal care, and beginning jumping for more advanced riders are part of the program too!

Swimming
Our certified lifeguards and Water Safety Instructors teach daily swim lessons to campers. We follow the American Red Cross swim program for beginners to advanced swimmers. At the end of the session each camper receives an award certificate showing the level they have passed. We also offer competitive swim classes and Jr. Lifesaving classes!

Computer Instruction
Campers work with the latest technology; we lease new computers every summer to keep up with the ongoing changes in the industry. Campers focus on graphic design programs such as Microsoft Publisher, and Adobe Photoshop. Campers also learn to build their own websites using Frontpage software! The curriculum is structured so that regardless of each camper's experience they can still be creative and make their own t-shirt logos, stickers, labels, newsletters and more!


Golf
Our golf instructors teach the fundamentals of the game on our 6-hole, par 3 course with a full driving range. By learning more about the game, understanding shot positioning to club selection, the golf program is designed to find the "Tiger Woods" in each camper. At the end of each session campers experience the "real thing" by playing at a nearby golf course.
