With our 4 Malibu ski boats, campers have a chance to try beginner and advanced waterskiing (slalom, 2-ski, trick
ski), wakeboarding, knee-boarding and even bare-footing. Two of our boats have booms to assist with teaching new
skiers the necessary skills. All boys at camp have the opportunity to try and learn how to ski from our 7 year
olds up to our 15 year olds.< back to top SAILING WINDSURFING
With the wind on Stockbridge Bowl (aka Mahkeenac Lake), campers have a great opportunity to learn how to sail on
our fleet of boats that includes Sunfish, Lasers, and a catamaran.
As boys develop seamanship, they can sail with fellow campers or on their own.
The program also includes a chance to compete in the Berkshire Regatta, a sailing race that comprises over 10
camps in the area.< back to top CANOE KAYAK
Learn how to paddle, barrel roll, and even traverse light rapids. These are all parts of our canoe/kayak program.
With an array of boats including regular canoes, war canoes that fit 15 campers, kayaks, playaks and more, the boys
have a great opportunity to learn how to paddle around the lake or even down one of the local rivers.< back to top SWIMMING
Our Red Cross WSI and Certified Lifeguards follow the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. Campers age 7-11 have daily
swim lessons in our heated swimming pool. Classes are divided up based on swim levels and boys are taught in groups
of 3 to 4 per instructor. The boys are brought down to the lake once a week to learn how to dive as well as to play fun games
that assist in developing their swimming skills. Our pool is home to several swim meets as well as water basketball
and volleyball games.< back to top FISHING
Especially geared towards our younger boys, fishing is a fun and exciting way to spend some time down at the lake.
Boys have the opportunities to fish off the docks or as they get older are given a chance to fish off our pontoon
boat. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish including blue gills, bass, and trout.< back to top |
