An afternoon snack is provided; however, if your child has food allergies or is a picky eater, please send an additional snack from home.

How are the children divided up and how does the staffing work? Are children grouped by age?

Campers are grouped according to age/grade. If there are numerous campers in a particular age group, we will split the larger group into two smaller ones. There will be one head counselor for each group and floater counselors assisting at stations such as the rock wall or outdoor turf. Our Youth Fitness Coordinator is also on-site daily and assists in supervising our summer camp program.

What if the camp session is full? Is there a waitlist?

If the program is full, we offer the option to add a participant to the waitlist. Being placed on the waitlist does not guarantee a spot in the program. Please ensure that your contact information is current at the time you are placed on a waitlist. The Youth Fitness Coordinator will contact waitlisted families on a first-come, first-served basis as space in the program becomes available.

What is the dress code?

Participants should wear:

• Shorts and a lightweight shirt or top
• Closed-toe, athletic shoes (sandals, flip-flops or Crocs-style shoes are not permitted)

If your camper is not properly attired, they will not be permitted to participate in camp activities and a parent/guardian will be notified and asked to bring appropriate attire.

Do campers swim every day?

Yes, please bring a swimsuit or swim clothing with you each day. Goggles are recommended. Certified lifeguards supervise all swimming activities.

Is there a swim test?

Children will complete a swim test on their first day of camp, which requires they can:

• Swim continuously for 25 yards, and
• Tread water in 9 feet for one (1) minute

Once assessed, swimmers will wear a swim band indicating where they are allowed in the pool. If the child cannot pass the swim test, he or she must stay in the 3½ foot depth of the pool area. If your child does not wish to swim, they may choose an alternative activity supervised by one of the camp counselors.

Is there a lost and found?

Yes. Please be sure to mark all clothing and bags with the camper’s full name. All lost and found items will be placed in the lost and found box located on the table in the classroom where campers sign in to and out of camp.
