The Need: A Competitive Edge Through Recreation

Camp Modin had always placed a strong emphasis on its waterfront activities, but leadership saw an opportunity to transform their aquatic amenities into a true centerpiece of the camp experience. They understood that a world-class waterfront could serve as a major differentiator in an increasingly competitive summer camp landscape—offering not only an unparalleled experience for current campers but also serving as a compelling enrollment driver for future seasons.

The Solution: A Strategic Partnership with CRS

To bring their vision to life, Camp Modin partnered with Commercial Recreation Specialists (CRS), an industry leader in aquatic recreation solutions. CRS worked closely with the camp to develop a dynamic, customized waterfront experience designed to thrill campers while also aligning with the camp’s long-standing traditions and values.

Through this collaboration, Camp Modin introduced an expansive aquatic feature that seamlessly blended fun, safety, and adventure. The newly enhanced waterfront offered:

Innovative floating playground elements that encouraged active play and teamwork.
New watercraft and equipment upgrades to enhance skill-building opportunities.
A fresh, visually impressive waterfront layout designed to serve as a selling point for prospective families.

The Impact: Reinforcing Modin’s Legacy

The investment in a world-class waterfront has proven to be a game-changer for Camp Modin. Not only has camper engagement soared, but the waterfront’s new features have also become a key talking point in the camp’s marketing and enrollment efforts. Returning campers are more excited than ever, and new families are drawn in by the promise of an unforgettable lake experience.

By partnering with CRS, Camp Modin successfully strengthened its position as a top-tier summer camp, blending tradition with innovation to create an experience that continues to resonate with generations of campers. As a result, Modin’s leadership has reinforced their camp’s legacy, ensuring that their waterfront remains a prized attraction for years to come.
