The camp runs on Bear Creek Lake Park with the amphitheater’s red-stone silhouette framing every lap—an uncommon alpine-lake setting for learning watersports in Colorado.

THE TEACHING

Coaches spend dedicated time with campers, teaching the basics or progressing existing skills, so each participant receives focused instruction during on-water sessions.
