The Watersports Camp

Normandie is more than a summer camp. It is a life enhancing experience. Situated on breathtaking Lake Champlain in historic Westport, New York, it offers its campers a rare opportunity to acquire skills, build confidence and gain personal insights as they have a great deal of fun.

In addition to such traditional camp activities as all land sports, a superb tennis program and trips to exciting places, Normandie specializes in all water sports with a special focus on waterskiing, jetskiing, , scuba, sailing and windsurfing.

Even campers with little or no previous experience can aquire the skills that will enable them to skim across the surface of the water or race before the winds of our beautiful lake. All it takes is the desire and enthusiasm to learn and progress.

Normandie's staff of experienced counselors is well known for its ability to instill the confidence and impart the knowledge that turns novices into accomplished athletes. The satisfaction and sense of accomplishment will last a lifetime.

Competion is not an important component of the Normandie water program. Each camper only competes with his or her own previous accomplishments. Everyone improves very quickly as basic skills are acquired. The more advanced they become, the more fun they have.

The atmosphere of the camp is one of enthusiastic support. The boys and girls cheer for one another and in such an environment, even novices learn to ski in less than a week! A few weeks later, most are slaloming across the lake as if they had been doing it for their entire lives.
