Private Lake—Campers love the lakefront—especially waterskiing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding. Every camper is scheduled 4 periods a week for waterskiing and campers can also ski during Camper Choice. Our patient and knowledgeable instructors help each camper "get up" and expand their skiing skills on the scenic 175 acre lake. In addition to our 3 beautiful Malibu ski boats (with booms), we have canoes and kayaks for additional waterfront fun.   2 Heated Pools—In our 2 heated pools, quality swim instruction takes place almost every day for younger campers and every other day for older groups. Six Certified Waterfront Instructors provide individual and small group American Red Cross Instruction. Campers also enjoy free swim, night swim under the lights, intercamp swim meets, water basketball and lifeguarding courses.
