Free Swim/Dock Play

The docks are one of the most beloved hangouts at camp and kids love to relax in the warm California sun and take dips in the lake.

The gentle sway of the docks, the perfect temperature of the lake, being surrounded by pine trees and mountains all around, under a big blue sky all provide the backdrop dreams are made of!

Campers are given supervised free swim almost every day at camp. Campers can also sign up for dock activities which would include games such as water polo or the fun and messy game of greased watermelon. Free swim or what we call "Swim Call" is one of the many traditions at Skylake and gives campers of all ages time to relax and take advantage of our large docks on beautiful Bass Lake.
