Waterfront, Swimming, and Boating Activities
Build skills and have an action-packed fun summer out on the river!
Camp Kupugani is an all-inclusive summer camp that provides kids with a fun, safe, and memorable summer experience of a lifetime. With water activities galore and plenty of fun, we welcome all campers of all races, cultures, and backgrounds.
River Walks
From river walks, river floats, waterfall & dam jumping, there is no better way to spend a hot summer day. A river walk or river float is the perfect activity for cooling off on a warm summer day. During a river walk, campers dressed in life jackets, shorts, t-shirts, and shoes walk the length of the river observing and interacting with the beings that consider the river their home. Campers celebrate the end of a river walk by floating down the river, taking a trip under our very own waterfall, or doing crazy jumps off the dam into our 18-foot deep lake.
Paddle Boarding
Paddle boarding (or SUP, for stand up paddle boarding) is one of the fastest growing outdoor sports around. It’s easy to learn and super fun on the lake and river!
Fishing
Bring your own fishing pole or use one of our bamboo fishing poles to take advantage of the great fishing that you can find down by our fishing pond, river, or lake.
Swimming
Swimming is always a fun activity on a warm summer day. Our beautiful 30- by 60-foot fully-staffed swimming pool, located in the heart of camp, is the venue for swimming supervision from our certified lifeguards, fun pool games, and diving from our one-meter board.
Canoeing
Whether you’re canoeing in camp up and down the Leaf River, paddling around the lake, or practicing canoe tipping on a sunny day, there’s something about the peacefulness of the trees, the smell of the fresh air, and the slight sound of a paddle dipping into the water that makes for a wonderful summer day activity. Our canoeing program focuses on teaching campers the fundamentals. We have high-quality 14-foot and 16-foot synthetic canoes. Whether you’re experienced or a rookie, you learn as much as you want to about canoeing. Instruction is focused on teaching safety, strokes, steering and portaging. Campers are able to canoe for a mile without leaving camp!
Lake Play
Campers have the opportunity to go dam jumping, swim in the lake or chill on the lake raft during lake play. Whether you’re looking to just soak up some Vitamin D or have fun splashing and playing in the water, there’s surely an option that pleases everyone at lake play.
KAYAKING
Whether you’re kayaking in camp up and down the Leaf River, paddling around the lake, or practicing 360s on a sunny day, there’s something about the peacefulness of the trees, the smell of the fresh air, and the slight sound of a paddle dipping into the water that makes for a wonderful summer day activity.
