At BLC, our campers learn the paddling and maneuvering kayaking skills in the shelter of our designated small crafts area in open or “large mouthed” kayaks. As campers become more confident and complete skills checks, they are given the opportunity to use more advanced boats and learn more difficult skills. Kayaking in our small crafts area is available for all campers who have passed their deep water test, but we regularly offer additional opportunities to go on longer paddles across the lake and around Crook’s Island.
