How Quickly Do Spots Fill?

Fast! We recommend viewing our website and 2023 Summer Brochure (hard copy and digital version coming early April!) prior to open registration and having all your favorite programs picked out ahead of time so you can enroll as soon as registration opens. Our Summer camps, programs, and events are our most popular with children being on summer break, and with how fun and action packed they are!

 


Swim Lessons

The American Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety Program features progressive levels of learn-to-swim instructions to help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop their swimming and water safety skills. For all sessions, we are offering “block” swim lessons. You may sign up for a block of time each session. A skills test will be given on the first day of class and your child will be placed in the class with other students near the same skill level. Each session will run Monday through Friday for 2 weeks. Rainy days will be used for safety classes on the beach or under a pavilion (excluding severe weather). All participants must be potty trained and meet the minimum age requirement by the start of the session. Register early as classes fill up quickly.
