+ What are the behavior expectations?

  • Every child deserves to have fun and be safe.

  • Kids will be expected to practice pool safety (no running, no diving, obey lifeguard, etc.). This is non-negotiable. If a camper continually disregards pool rules, they will have to sit out or possibly go home. We will discuss pool rules each day!

  • Kids will be expected to protect the happiness of other campers, by being polite, helping to clean up, taking turns, and generally being kind to one another.

  • Rough housing is permitted within limits of safety (as determined by adults on premises), and limits of fun. If someone isn't having fun, the rough housing must stop.

  • Kids will get splashed. And will splash others. This is expected and part of the fun!
