Water Week is all about focusing on the fun of water activities, which means there’s no mountain biking or hiking on the schedule. Instead, campers get to fully immerse themselves in the excitement of rafting down rapids, perfecting their paddling skills, and cooling off with a swim. It’s the perfect summer adventure for campers ready to make waves and create unforgettable memories. Spaces fill quickly, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!
Pick up and drop off for Water Week is the same as any other week of MOLA! From Silver Park, campers will load up in the van first thing each day and head off to their destination. Each day of Water Week will be an exciting day on the water whether it be rafting or inflatable kayaking. Campers will get to splash in waves, develop their paddling skills, and dive deeper into their favorite water activities throughout the week! Specific itineraries with information on activities and locations will be provided prior to Water Week so you and your camper can prepare for this epic adventure.
Specific locations and schedules are subject to change as the team manages the most up-to-date information with weather conditions, water levels, etc.
