Expanding and Enhancing the Cove Offerings
Our activity list has grown this year, as we have added the new ice rink and outdoor adventure. And while some new activities are born every year or so, other areas continue to develop and expand every year. The Cove is part of the latter. Our lakefront base is one of the most popular spots in camp, with multiple specialties running each hour, as well as cabin times throughout the day. What used to be the sole swimming spot at Chi is now the hotbed of waterfront activities, from boating to inflatables. And we are thrilled to announce some upgrades and enhancements we have made for the 2019 summer.
MEET THE WGWAG
Last year we added Corcls, kayaks shaped likes circles, to the cove, and it was a big hit! Well from the makers of the Corcl comes the WGWAG, a standing device that needs no paddle- just you! Stand and shift your weight side to side on the stable deck and the submerged fins propel you through the water.
ADDING TO THE FLEET
While the WGWAGs are new to camp, we have bolstered our fleet with new canoes and kayaks as well. Joining them are some brand new paddleboats, complete with an awning to provide shade. And if that isn’t enough, we have a number of new stand-up paddle boards as well. So really there’s no excuse to not get around with all the boats we’ll have at the cove this summer.
EXPANDING THE HEART OF THE COVE
While the boats are fun, besides Chi Burning, nothing is more iconic at the cove than the inflatables. The trampoline, volleyball court, and slide provide hours of fun every day, and now they are getting some more neighbors in the water. The first new inflatable is an oldie but a goodie- we are bringing back the water see-saw, so get ready to throw your friends off balance and into the water. If balance isn’t your thing, but competition is, get ready to take on the new challenge course. And if you want to combine both competition and balance, you’ll certainly love the brand new American Gladiator-style column obstacle course at the cove.
MAGIC CARPETS GALORE
You won’t need a cave of wonders, a lamp, or any wishes from any genies to get around the cove this summer. Instead you can run along the magic carpets, or water mats, to get from point A to point B. Not going from one place to another? No worries! You can still run and jump on the mats for a splashtastic time!
With all these new additions, the Cove’s popularity will most certainly remain strong. Between everything we’ve had for years, the WGWAGs, magic carpets, new boats, and the three new inflatables, the Cove will certainly have something for everyone in Summer 2019!
