Canoeing

Island Lake, a small, private lake, is the perfect setting for learning canoeing skills. The trees that surround the lake provide protection from strong winds and large waves. There is no public access to the lake, so campers can canoe wherever they want without worrying about large boats.

Campers learn proper paddling techniques, as well as how to paddle in both the bow and the stern. Advanced skills include changing places in the canoe safely while in the middle of the lake, how to vault out of the canoe to take a quick swim, and what to do if a canoe swamps.
