Water-Skiing School 7th- 9th graders
This advanced program is for campers who wish to improve their water-skiing, knee-boarding, wake-boarding, trick-skiing, slalom and barefoot-skiing skills. There are three ski boats which cruise to nearby Still Pond for flatter, more skier-friendly waters. Campers should be comfortable with water-skiing or wake-boarding skills so they can accelerate to the advanced levels.

Sailing School 7th- 9th graders
This curriculum is for campers who wish to master their sailing abilities and cultivate racing skills. Instructors from national and international college sailing teams teach a variety of techniques based on U.S. Sailing Association standards. The campers navigate the Chesapeake Bay and Tockwogh race courses on the Olympic Class Vanguard Laser, a single-handed racing dinghy. The fleet also includes a 25-foot racer/cruiser to teach crewing and spinnaker handling. Campers must be comfortable with tacking, jibbing and other basic sailing skills, in order to accelerate through the advanced levels of instruction.
