The Curriculum:
The Water Sports Camp will be what your children will remember most about growing up near the lake. They will like it because it is all about enjoying the lake with friends. Parents will like it because it is safe, supervised, and in the neighborhood! The camp focuses on enjoying three water sports: kayaking, paddle boarding, and sailing. Daily activities will depend on the weather and the water. At different times during the camp, there will be relays, races, and games. Each sport will be introduced with an overview of the basic skills needed in order to safely use and enjoy the equipment. While sailing with an instructor, beginners will learn the basics of using the tiller and adjusting the sails. Safety skills will be taught for both kayaking and paddle boarding: how to launch and board from the beach, how to return to the beach and disembark, how to board from the water, and how to paddle and maneuver. Each session will emphasize the importance of water safety.
Safety: Trained instructors are on duty at all times to assist in the launch and return of boats, and retrieval by boat rescue, if necessary. Every participant must wear the camp provided US Coast Guard approved vest-type life jacket at all times on the water.
Eligibility and Requirements:
The program is open to non -club members and to residents of the Sears School District , as well as to KSC members and residents.
