Find the waterfront activity that best fits your troop's paddling journey! Safety Reminder: For all waterfront activities, participants should wear clothing and closed toe shoes that can get wet. (Crocs are not recommended; these suction to the lake bottom and get lost.) Life jackets are provided or bring your own-must be U.S. Coast Guard-approved.
Corcl
For Daisies and up, the Corcl boat is designed specifically for youth ages 8 to 15, providing a fun and safe way to explore flat water. It's an excellent introduction to paddle sports, particularly for Girl Scouts preparing to advance to other activities. Paddlers can move quickly and easily through the water, making for an exciting first experience. Please wear clothing and closed toe shoes* that you don't mind getting wet. Life jackets will be provided, or you may bring your own-just ensure it's a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

Canoeing
For Daisies and up, canoeing is a fantastic team-building activity and an exciting way to explore one of our four scenic lakefronts. You and your group will receive a brief introduction to canoe maneuvering before paddling out for a fun-filled experience. This activity is open to Daisies and up, with a special requirement for Daisies-each Daisy must be accompanied by an adult to participate. Please wear clothing and closed toe shoes* that you don't mind getting wet. Life jackets will be provided, or you may bring your own - just ensure it's a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

Kayaking
For Brownies and up, get out on the lake and dive into the world of kayaking! This activity introduces fundamental paddling techniques while building confidence on the water. Kayaking is a great progression for Girl Scouts who have experienced Corcls or canoeing and are ready to develop their paddling skills further. Please wear clothing and closed toe shoes* that you don't mind getting wet. Life jackets will be provided, or you may bring your own-just make sure it's U.S. Coast Guard-approved.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding
For Juniors and up, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a fun water sport inspired by surfing! Using long-handled paddles, you and your girls can propel SUPs across the water while standing, engaging core muscles and developing excellent balance and coordination. SUP is a great next step for Girl Scouts who have mastered canoeing or kayaking and want to challenge themselves further on the water. Please wear clothing and closed toe shoes* that you don't mind getting wet. Life jackets will be provided, or you may bring your own-just ensure it is U.S. Coast Guard-approved.
