Mile Swim

This session provides Scouts and adult leaders with an opportunity to exercise through recreational lap swimming. Camp Raven Knob's dock system includes eight 25-yard lap lanes in an enclosed swimming area.

Participants can qualify to swim an open-water mile on Thursday by completing specific training swims on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, or by demonstrating ability to the satisfaction of the Aquatics Director.

Leaders may earn part of their Scoutmaster Merit Badge by volunteering to help supervise the swim by rowing across the lake on Thursday.
