Things to do during your stay

Basketball

How about a friendly game of “h-o-r-s-e” or a tournament of 3-on-3? A little bit of healthy competition makes for great family get-togethers, and is the fabric from which good stories are woven. We have two half courts by the tennis courts as well as one next to the volleyball pits at the Chelan side beach.  Basketballs may be checked out at the KIOSK.

Pickleball

Don’t fall into your opponents “kitchen”!  Pickleball is truly a game for all ages, shapes and skill levels.  Pickleball is a combination of badminton, ping-pong and tennis.  Players use a paddle that is reminiscent of ping-pong paddles, but is bigger and usually made of more advanced materials. The ball used is very similar to a plastic whiffle ball with holes covering the surface. Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles, just like tennis.  Come give it a try on our new pickleball courts – it will be a smash!
