Watersports

There is no better place to swim and canoe than the clean, cool waters of Little River. A corps of qualified lifeguards trained in the American Red Cross Aquatics program oversee the watersports program and every precaution is taken.

Watercraft

Above a dam in Little River, Alpine campers explore nearly a mile of calm, open water in canoes and paddleboards. A safety test in swimming is required before taking out a canoe or watercraft and no watercraft are used unless waterfront personnel are present. All participants are required to wear life jackets.

Waterfront

On the far end of the open water, down-river from the watercraft dock, lies a quiet swimming area with no current which Alpine refers to as the Waterfront. Fun activities there include the Aqua Jump — a water trampoline floating in the middle of the river, complete with small blob and rope swing off the sides — and two Wet Willie waterslides. Everyone in and around the water is required to wear life jackets.

Swimming Pool

The large swimming pool, set atop a knoll overlooking the lower parts of camp, is another nice place to keep cool on a hot summer day.

Physical Training

At the end of the session, campers return to their athletic pursuits in top condition.
