The Value of the Waterfront: A Summer Camp Oasis
Alex O'Brien
At Circle F Dude Ranch, we understand that a Florida summer camp experience wouldn’t be complete without the magic of our spectacular waterfront. Nestled on the shores of our 45-acre spring-fed lake, Sunset Lake, our waterfront offers an array of exhilarating water-based activities that captivate campers and provide unforgettable experiences. Let’s dive into the value of our waterfront and the exciting activities it offers:
Canoeing, Kayaking, and Paddleboarding:
Campers have the opportunity to explore Sunset Lake in various ways, whether gliding through the water in a canoe with a friend, navigating solo in a kayak, or enjoying the tranquility of paddleboarding. These activities not only provide excellent exercise but also instill a sense of independence and confidence as campers master the art of maneuvering across the lake.
Sailing:
For adventure-seeking campers, sailing offers an exhilarating experience that combines skill-building with teamwork. From rigging sails to understanding wind conditions, campers learn valuable lessons in collaboration and navigation while enjoying the thrill of sailing across the sparkling waters of Sunset Lake.
Fishing:
At the waterfront, campers can indulge in the timeless activity of fishing. Whether casting lines from the dock or venturing out on a boat, campers develop patience, concentration, and a deeper appreciation for nature as they try to reel in their catch. Fishing also provides a peaceful retreat where campers can connect with their surroundings and enjoy moments of introspection.
Banana Boat and Inflatables
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the banana boat ride and inflatable area offer thrills like no other. Campers can ride the waves on the banana boat, bouncing and splashing with excitement, or challenge themselves on larger-than-life inflatables like the blob, rocket it, and twin summits Mt. Hood and Mount Baker. These experiences foster camaraderie, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
General Swim Bay:
A tranquil oasis within Sunset Lake, the general swim bay invites campers to relax and unwind in the cool, shallow waters. Whether swimming leisurely or building sandcastles along the sandy shore, campers find solace and joy in the simple pleasures of waterfront fun.

At Circle F Dude Ranch, our waterfront isn’t just a place for water activities—it’s a gateway to adventure, growth, and lifelong memories. Here, amidst the crystal-clear waters of Sunset Lake, campers discover the magic of summer camp, forging friendships, exploring nature, and creating cherished moments that last a lifetime.
