1. Water Sports at Camp

2. Do you remember your
first summer at camp?

3. An incredible experience, camp is a
great way for kids to learn
independence and important life
skills. In addition to some of the
literal skills taught, kids are forced
to interact socially without the
safety net of their parents.

4. Kids learn how to be a part of a
community, how to follow a
schedule, and have a lot of fun at
camp. The best camps provide a
variety of water sports for kids,
allowing them to build confidence
doing activities which they may
never have had the opportunity to
participate in otherwise.

5. Swimming

6. The original water sport is, of course, swimming! Kids learn
to swim first at camp, both for fun and safety. Camp kids first
need to learn the basic survival swimming methods, so they
can hang out in the water if they get stuck somewhere.
Next they will learn to butterfly swim and freestyle, until
they are comfortable moving around in the water. Swimming
is only the beginning, however, as camp kids participate in a
wide variety of water sports after they learn the foundations.

7. Bodyboarding

8. This form of riding the ocean involves riding a small board
on your belly in the surf. The rider paddles out to the waves,
then turns back toward the beach and rides the wave back
towards land.
“Bodyboarding is a great way for
kids to start out in water sports!”
As long as kids can swim and are constantly monitored, they
can paddle out to the waves and ride them back in. The
feeling of lying on your stomach is very stable, so even if
they are knocked off the board it's easy enough to swim
with the current back to shore.

9. Kneeboarding

10. This form of water skiing is great for beginners. Pulled carefully
by a boat, the kneeboarder places their knees on the board and
rides the water behind the vehicle.
Kneeboarding is a great transition to the stand-up water sports.
It allows the kids to ride the waves and sometimes even get
some air in a comfortable manner.
If they find they really like kneeboarding, they don't have to
stop! There are kneeboarding competitions all over the world,
and it is a skill unto itself.

11. Wakeboarding and Water Skiing

12. Considered by many to be the "premier" water sports,
wakeboarding and water skiing are just too much fun for kids at
camp. Wakeboarding involves standing on a modified type of
surfboard, and being pulled by a boat across the waves.
Water skiing, of course, is the same thing on two skis built for
water. Both have their own advantages, and are usually a
matter of the rider's preference.
Kids who finally learn to wakeboard or water ski not only learn
a great skill; they learn confidence in themselves and their
abilities. The first time a kid at camp stands up and rides a wave
successfully, they will have truly accomplished something and
will know that they did it all by themselves.

13. Don’t miss out!

14. Camp is a fantastic opportunity for kids to learn
about themselves and have a whole lot of fun.
Camp isn't free, but what parents spend to send their kids to
camp is an investment in their future.
Kids will remember camp for the rest of their lives, and the
experiences they have will shape their adult personalities.
Your kids will love camp, and there is no better place for
them to learn about themselves and everything they can
accomplish.

15. The kids Camp Walt Whitman sleepover summer
camp have a blast on Lake Armington every year.

16. There are many water sports to choose from, with
experienced counselors and instructors to ensure that they
have a safe and fun time on the water.
