Water Sports

On opening day, each new and returning camper is tested to assess swimming level for classes and to determine eligibility for specific water activities. Activities available are:

Instructional and recreational swimming for all campers.

Boating & canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, and water-skiing.

Competitive swimming at Camp Pembroke’s inter-camp swim meet and Camp Tel Noar’s inter-camp “water carnival.”

Campers who will be age 15 by the end of the camp season and have completed all Red Cross swim levels may participate in certified Lifeguard training.

The waterfront also includes a beach volleyball court and the popular fishing program elective.

The waterfront staff are American Red Cross trained and certified in one or more of the following: Lifeguard Training, CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety Instruction. Waterfront instructors are involved also in ongoing training to learn teaching techniques and the latest safety management skills.
