Watersports: SUP (Stand-up Paddleboarding)

Legend has it that Stand Up Paddleboarding got its start in the Hawaiian Islands. This ancient form of surfing has reemerged as a hot new sport, and Lake George is the perfect place to learn. Initially, we introduced Paddleboarding to our boys and girls camp as an Adventure Period activity. Once campers tried it, they were obsessed! Due to popular demand, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is now offered as a full on waterfront program.

SUP camp allows campers to learn this little known sport. Paddleboarding is all about balance, so age is no barrier to becoming proficient at this cool sport. Paddlers use adjustable paddles, and younger campers may choose to have a counselor on board until they feel comfortable. Once the group is up, they’re off, and can be found just about anywhere around the peninsula. SUPers love paddling over and peering down at Crazy Kate’s boat! Lifejackets are required, so jumping off the board and into the lake makes every class wicked fun.
