Finished 7th, 8th or 9th grade / 4 week session only

INCREDIBLE DIVING AROUND A 200 YEAR-OLD WRECK is just part of the excitement enjoyed by our SCUBA cabin.  This program allows young men who are good swimmers and have an interest in SCUBA to become certified PADI open water divers.  The campers spend the first two weeks enjoying in-camp activities, learning dive techniques, and classroom participation from HWH's PADI certified diving instructor.  Then, all of our campers and staff are off to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for great diving in lakes, quarries and culminating with boat dives in the famous wrecks of Lake Superior located at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore our of Munising.
