The Snorkeling BSA Study Guide, formerly on file at Newport Sea Base BSA and the Catalina High Adventure program, was originally designed in 1992 by waterfront staff member, J.S. Fox and his Scuba certified father, at Camp Wolfeboro and is still used at the waterfront during the summer season. | Although the waterfront is infamous for its cold mountain river water, the pristine water quality has allowed this camp to continue to offer the Snorkeling BSA Award at a time other camps have dropped the program for lack of water clarity at their locale.
