Water Activities / Swimming

Much of our program centres around lakes and rivers and this is reflected in the importance which we attach to swimming. Every safety precaution is taken for the expert swimmers and beginners alike. Non-swimmers are given lessons in a safe and protected buoyed-off area at the sandy beach. For the experienced, there are three 20m enclosed pools at the Tower, as well as a marked free-swim area. Qualified lifeguards are always in attendance. Daily instruction is given to every camper, based on the requirements of the Life Saving Society and the Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety programs. Facilities for excitement on the waterfront include a 7m diving tower, a slide and a beautiful sandy beach. As soon as he arrives at camp, every camper is made aware of safety practices around the waterfront, including the 'Buddy and check-in systems'.
