Walking and gliding on water

Did you know you can walk on water at Camp Brosius?  New this year in the swim area are lily pads for people. While you can flop on them or crawl on them, you can walk on them; well, run, too.  Watching kids and grown ups try to jump between them and do a headstand (not recommended as you get a face full of water) or do a handstand on them resulted in our camp crew laughing harder than we had in years.  This is what Camp gives you– the freedom to leave behind whatever keeps you from laughing each day so hard that you might wet your swimsuit. Good thing you are in the lake!?

And if walking on water is not for you, there is the indescribable feeling of gliding across the lake on a sail boat.  Sunfish or Hobie: the wind in your face and the tension of the line in your hand or against the rudder reminds you of the power and beauty of experiencing nature. Sometimes that power means you take a swim, unplanned, in the middle of the lake. But you always get back on the boat and keep going. Because you can and because every sail is unlike any other sail. New wind and new water.

Camp Brosius: where familiar and new always meet.
