Swim and Ocean Sports

All campers enjoy swimming in the Great South Bay and older campers in the ocean! Our certified OBYG lifeguards supervise swimmers in the bay and ocean. On inclement weather days, our Ocean Sports counselors lead fun beach games including handball, sandcastle building, Kan Jam, and more. In the bay, campers have the chance for free swim and instruction on various strokes. We look forward to bringing back our OBYG Swim Team - the Stingrays!
