Q: Does my child need to know how to swim?
A: Although our Campers will be swimming daily at our Fun Camps, it’s not a problem if your child can’t keep swim. We will assess each child’s swim skills on the first day of camp each week.
Q: Do you provide life jackets during swimming?
A: We provide life jackets to all campers who do not pass the swim test or chooses not to take the swim test. Campers are welcome to bring their own life jackets to any of the camps (as long as the life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved).
