Sports & Swimming at Ballibay
waterfront
We have an active waterfront program. The program includes a large swimming pool and an on-campus lake that is used for boating or fishing. Our waterfront is supervised by qualified instructors and assistants. During our orientation program, each camper takes a swimming test so that his or her skills can be ascertained, and we can explain what our waterfront program can do to upgrade skills. Swimming instruction is scheduled individually with each camper. Recreational or 'general swim' is offered twice daily during our regular morning and afternoon activity periods, and anyone who wishes to participate may. The water in our pool is checked weekly by a state approved laboratory, and daily by our staff. Both areas are approved by the State of Pennsylvania.
tennis
Many campers opt to take tennis lessons from a qualified full-time instructor on our all-weather courts, and there are many opportunities during the summer for campers to play tennis with friends.
after dinner sports
Every day we offer a different sporting activity or game after dinner. We have a large sports field and the equipment to play softball, volleyball, badminton, soccer and many other team and individual sports. In keeping with our non-competitive orientation, the emphasis in our sports program is individual involvement, improvement of skills, and fun.
