PAYMENT INFORMATION

SWIM POLICY Campers swim daily (except on field trip days) Campers must bring the proper swimming wear and a labeled towel. Girls must wear a bathing suit that covers the stomach area. Boys must

wear swim trunks and a non-cotton swim shirt. Campers will be swim-tested weekly before they are permitted to swim. Campers who PASS the swim test will be given a PASS swim band.

Children must keep the band on all week. Campers who DO NOT meet the swim

test requirements will be given a NOT PASS swim band and will only be allowed to participate in water activities in a designated area and must wear a life jacket. Children must keep the band on all week.

The head lifeguard will announce general swimming rules before each swimming period.

Counselors are required to swim with the campers.

WE RECOMMEND THAT CAMPERS ARRIVE AT CAMP IN

THEIR SWIM ATTIRE AND BRING EXTRA CLOTHES TO CHANGE

INTO AFTER. This helps the changing process and saves time so that they will not

have to change twice.
