Fun in the pool


  Water Sports Camp


Swimming in our heated pool (up)
We conduct a full American Red Cross swim program. Each camper has an hour of swimming built into the schedule for instruction and free swim. Our goal is to see each camper progress one level during the session. Special attention is provided to beginners and more advanced swimmers. Our evening pool parties under the lights are a camper favorite.

Waterskiiing: Camp Emerson style
Water-skiing, Kneeboarding & Wakeboarding (up)
Every camper gets plenty of opportunity to ski. We rotate you out of your regular schedule to come down to Lake Plunkett several times a week to ski. Personal instruction at your comfort level starts on the dock. Campers learn on both the tow rope and the fixed boom to build confidence. More experienced water-skiers can try the kneeboard, wakeboard, slalom skiing or barefoot. There’s nothing like it.

The Watertrampoline is the hottest way to have fun in the water. Everyone gets a chance to put some serious bounce into the summer. Camp Emerson's Water Trampoline
