Are you a summer camp director or coordinator and want to make outdoor fun more accessible for campers?

Have you considered adding a large aluminum boat dock or patio?

Large docks offer more than just swimming – fishing, sunbathing, and picnics are great options for kids to spend some time outside soaking up the sun.

To make sure everyone’s able to enjoy the dock, consider these accessories and upgrades:

  1. Install ladders to make swimming easy
  2. Use guardrails to make sure everyone stays safe
  3. Consider ADA-compliant ramps to help those in wheelchairs or with walkers to access the dock safely
  4. Use slip-resistant decking

Other equipment to have on hand are life jackets, fishing equipment, dock furniture like chairs and tables, and for nighttime excursions, consider dock lighting.
