Wilderness Warriors: Swimming at the Que
July 19 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
ℹ️ A Note Regarding Families
There have been some questions about whether this event is for just the boys or the whole family. We would like to try to keep the boys together as a group to have some fun together. With that being said, it is a public swimming area with lots of fun stuff to do so if the whole family wants to come and enjoy the day that is perfectly fine!
Wilderness Warriors: End-of-Summer Swim & Paddle!
Join the Wilderness Warriors for our final summer gathering! We are putting our regular lessons on hold for an afternoon of pure fun, sun, and splashing at the beautiful Quemahoning Family Recreation Area.
Event Details
- Time: 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM (Note: This is one hour earlier than our usual meeting time!)
- Location: Quemahoning Family Recreation Area
- Cost: $5 per vehicle (Please bring cash for parking)
What to Expect
- Beach & Swimming: The “Que” features a fantastic sandy beach and a swimming area that slopes gradually from shallow to deeper water, making it great for all swim levels.
- Boating Adventures: We will have two kayaks and a canoe available, complete with lifejackets! Younger Warriors can ride in the canoe with an adult chaperone, while older boys can paddle the kayaks around the outside of the swim area.
- Extra Fun: When the boys aren’t in the water, they can build sandcastles, explore the nearby playground, or check out the fishing pier.
What to Bring
- Towels and swimwear
- Sunscreen (Please apply before arriving)
- Floaties or puddle jumpers (If your child needs them)
- $5 cash for the park entry fee
- Your own canoe or kayak (Optional, if you’d like to bring your own!)
Important Safety & Logistics Notes
- Supervision: This is a public swimming area with no lifeguard on duty. We encourage as many parents and adults to stay as possible so we have plenty of eyes on the kids to ensure a safe and fun environment.
- Meeting Spot: The park’s pavilions are fully booked, so look for our group gathered together right on the beach to keep our stuff in one central spot.
- Carpooling: If anyone needs a ride to the reservoir, please reach out to us, and we will happily coordinate transportation!
