FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES
We know summer schedules can be busy and unpredictable. Families have the flexibility to register for the full 9 to 11 week season or choose only the weeks that fit their plans, whether that is one week, three weeks, or anywhere in between. This allows parents to travel or manage other commitments without paying for weeks their child will miss.
To make summer even easier, optional swim lesson add-ons are available during the camp day at the . By building lessons into the camp schedule, families can skip the extra evening or weekend trips while ensuring their child continues developing important water safety skills.
