At Qwanoes, we’re excited that it is 2 more days until Christmas – and 11 days until Qwanoes summer 2012 registration and the new summer theme are launched! We’re also looking forward to welcoming many summer 2011 staff back to Qwanoes for our annual Summer Staff Retreat over New Year’s.

So what’s new for summer 2012 at Qwanoes?! Even more fun, always new adventures! Here’s a small glimpse at what’s ahead…

Try out the latest surf sensation – paddle surfing – this summer at Qwanoes Beach! Known as Hoe he’e nalu in Hawaiian, stand-up paddle surfing is actually an ancient form of surfing that emerged in Hawaii and is now exploding in popularity globally.

The Aqua-Park just keeps growing… let’s see who can make the biggest splash on our new Aqua Rope Swing! The Super Slide has been so popular that we’re adding another amazing slide option, a new 10 foot tall Freefall Slide!

Inspired by the addition of our new paddle surfing activity – we’ll be throwing giant Surf-O-Rama beach-theme parties at our Junior High and Youth Camps, and running Surf-A-Rama carnivals at our Juniors Camps and Family Retreats!

For the latest on Qwanoes as it happens, and for some fun, encouragement and interaction, you can now follow us at twitter.com/qwanoes! We are excited about Twitter because it’s a simple, instant, and very efficient way of communicating and connecting with a lot of people.

We’re committed to making this the best summer ever at Qwanoes – and we sure hope that you’ll be a part of it! Check it out online! for much more info about our featured new activities and adventures for 2012.
