Programs

Days built for children, not for schedules

Age groups

Three divisions

Boys and girls are separate from age six, each division with its own counselors and its own age-based groups. Our youngest campers, ages 3–5, are together in Preschool.

A day at camp

What a normal day looks like

After hours

An extra hour in the pool

Swimming carries on after the camp day ends, supervised by our certified staff. Families choose which days of the week their child swims: twice a week, every day, or a single afternoon, and pay for those days only.
$35
Per swim

Pick the days of the week that suit you: the cost is those days across the dates your child is booked for, and nothing more.

Register for swimming

You don't have to be at camp

The after-hours swim is open to children who don't attend camp at all: register for swimming on its own, pick the days, and that is the whole booking. Children already enrolled at camp pay a lower rate for each swim.

Certified staff supervise every swim, and children are grouped by the swimming ability you tell us about when you register.
