A note from the Instructor:
Hi! I’m Ben Faucher, the new operator of the Incline Village Summer Paddleboard Camp. I come from a diverse watersports background and currently operate a local paddleboard rental company on Lake Tahoe.
My paddling career began in New England, where I grew up and spent my college summers working as a camp counselor. During those years, I led groups on wilderness canoe trips and coastal kayaking tours, helping young people build confidence and skills on the water.
After graduating from college, I moved to Lake Tahoe in 2009. Since then, I’ve spent my winters working in the mountains and my summers on the lake. I earned my American Canoeing Association Trip Leader certification for both kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding and began guiding tours on Lake Tahoe for several local outfitting companies.
In 2022, I started my own paddleboard rental business and have continued sharing my passion for the lake with locals and visitors alike. I’m excited to bring my experience, love for paddling, and passion for outdoor education to the Incline Village Summer Paddleboard Camp and to help campers build skills, confidence, and a lifelong connection to the water.
Thanks,
Ben
