No. The lake is not for swimming or boating, so your camper will never enter the lake. We will utilize the beautiful environment for nature walks and art inspiration.

Lunch and snacks are included for each camper. Campers will have a hand in preparing their own meals each day, supervised by Chef Vanessa. All ingredients are included, so you don’t have to worry about a thing! Isn’t that great? Just make sure to alert us of any allergies or dietary restrictions your camper has.
