About Camp | Kingston's Camp RI

Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons are taught by American Red Cross Certified ‘Learn to Swim’ Instructors. We modify the lessons to fit our waterfront and the levels of the campers that come every day. Swim lessons are the only part of our day that the campers must participate in. Our goal is to make swimming fun, so games, […]

Kayaking

Kayaking on our flat-water pond is easy to master for campers of all ages. All kayakers must wear a PFD, which we teach how to put on, and get instructions and/or demonstrate how to paddle. If the camper is small we bring them out and paddle with them until they can paddle by themselves. All […]
