BALANCED PROGRAM afternoon program: power boating

POWER BOATING

Tired of paddling? Then sign up for Camp Mac’s Power Boating Elective! Available to boys and girls in the 7th and 8th grades, this “Alabama Better Boating Course” is conducted in cooperation with the Alabama Department of Conservation. Successful completion of this course is required by law in Alabama to obtain a license to operate a power boat on public waters. In addition to becoming familiar with the “Rules of the Road”, each young skipper learns to safely handle his or her own boat. Official certificates are awarded to those campers who successfully pass the written and practical tests.

Advanced Power Boating emphasizes boating skills and safety. Campers in this elective also learn ski signals and how to pull a skier. This course is available to 8th graders who have passed the basic course.
