Our qualified staff will share skills and techniques necessary to survive the island!

advantage of all the fun times Camp Westminster has to offer- swim, canoe/ kayak, climb, create, observe nature and participate in all of CW's traditions. Plus, ChooseIt! is back: you pick a skill to focus on for part of each day. Improve your skills in one area and enjoy all the variety Camp has to offer the rest of the time! This year, take an overnight trip on the Au Sable River to work on your paddling and outdoor living skills.

Wet n'Wild II         August 8-14

Guard Start Option:
For strong swimmers who want to complete a pre-lifeguard program sponsored by the American Red Cross, work on your swim strokes, learn safe conduct in the water, water rescue and first aid. Crucial skills for any lifeguard-in-training! The best part about this week is that you still get to enjoy all the fun and social times that CW offers too! Note: Camper must demonstrate adequate swimming ability to complete the Guard Start portion of the program.
