Camp Chikopi is located on Ahmic Lake in Ontario, Canada. Water activities are a central part of daily camp life and include both structured instruction and supervised recreational time at the beach.
All water activities are overseen by certified lifeguards and trained staff.
Water sports are taught through scheduled program classes.
Programs include:
Learn-to-swim, recreational instruction, and competitive training take place in the 50-metre lake-fed pool and designated swim areas.
Instruction in paddle technique, boat handling, teamwork, and water safety for beginners through advanced paddlers.
Recreational and racing formats with focus on balance, steering, and control.
Wind awareness, rigging, boat handling, and safe operation of Sunfish and CL16 boats.
Structured water sports emphasize safety, technique, and steady improvement.
In addition to instructional periods, campers enjoy supervised beach time during elective and free activity periods.
Beach recreation includes:
Water volleyball
Water badminton
Paddleboards
Waboba
Relaxed time on the beach, dock or shoreline
These periods are not classes. They are supervised downtime where boys play pickup games, socialize, and enjoy being in the lake.
The beach is one of the most popular gathering places at camp and provides a balance to structured sports training earlier in the day.
Campers rotate between land sports and water activities as part of the all-sports model. Instructional periods are balanced with recreational waterfront time to create a full and active daily schedule.
The emphasis remains on safety, participation, and enjoyment.
