Each Family Day is marked by a special dinner treat - an outdoor picnic and ski show, featuring a handful of campers from each week's session.  Parents get the chance to chat with each other while their kids show off their new skills.  At every ski show, there are a few classics we would like to mention for you to reminisce about or look forward to at Family Day.

Human Skis: Two of our counselors laid on their backs in the water while a camper stood on top of them and skied away from the dock.  This was quite entertaining and our camper did a GREAT job, despite the difficulty of this feat.

Canoe Pull: The Voyageur, our 15-seat canoe, pulled a camper on skis.  The canoe was propelled forward by 15 strong rowers and believe it or not, the skier was able to go pretty far!

Ski Jump: We sent our biking instructor, Jud, to take on the ski jump. Another exciting ride!

Five Camper Pull: If you thought one skier was entertaining, then five will blow you away.  We pulled five campers behind the ski boat for an exciting synchronized skiing success.

Grudge Match: Our two ski boat drivers faced off in this action-packed thrill.  They both started off with two skis, then dropped one, then dropped the second ski.  The challenge was to see who could stay up the longest while bare-footing.

Everyone enjoyed the picnic and the ski show.  The campers were fantastic and the boat drivers did a great job.  The audience was certainly entertained.  Make sure to come to Family Day so you can take part in this awesome tradition as we celebrate our campers before they head home.  See you on the water!
