CHOICESSkylake is unique among camps by letting the campers choose their own activities. This allowscampers to either experiment with many activities or return to favorite activities more often. Eachmorning we have three activity periods with the campers moving through camp much like a collegecampus. Afternoons are more a time for cabin groups to play together, either at swim call or CabinGroup Activity, when the Cabins as a group select an activity they would all like to do together.Skylake has a private waterfront in a veryquiet cove on Bass Lake. The waterfrontoffers Canoes, Kayaks, Swimming,Waterskiing and all of the related water sports.Our picnic barge cruises all of Bass Lake withpicnic lunches, dinners, and evening cruises.-3395Traditional activities in camp include archery,badminton, ping pong, campcrafts, tennis,handicrafts, softball, volleyball, basketball,along with drama, photo, and yearbook.
