provide instruction in a number of water activities, to experience the fun that only an aquatic environment can offer, and to do this in a safe manner.
Instruction
Campers will receive instruction in
swimming by means of a 30 minute
swim lesson daily. Basic knowledge in
springboard diving, water polo, basketball, volleyball, kayaking and canoeing is taught over the course of each week of the camp.
Adventure Guides
Who are our Adventure Guides? These are High School and College students who are former competitive swimmers or water polo players and have knowledge of the various activities which we will be
offering. They have exhibited an ability to manage a group of young children and to have fun doing so. They all are certified Swim America swim lessons instructors and are CPR certified.
*All Adventure Guides have been involved with
Patriot Aquatics for several years and are
personally known to us. We do not hire
personnel with whom we do not have prior
long term experience.
Fun
Our main goal is for every camper to
have a unique and fun experience. We will do this by organizing over two dozen games
and activities. Each week will be different
from every other week, as we will rotate
games and activities from week to week
throughout the summer. We will introduce
inflatables of all sizes to wow
every camper.
Friendly individual and team competitions will build a sense of accomplishment while having fun. Relay races, timed kayak and canoe races, treasure hunts, and many other
activities will create an experience that will leave our campers with a lifetime
of memories.
We plan to add to our camp’s activities each year in order to continue improving on
this concept.
Safe
Our Adventure Guide to camper ratio is 1:12. Each Adventure Guide is
responsible for the safety of our campers. In addition, we will have lifeguards
positioned around the facility for added safeguards.
Our first safeguard is preventative in
nature. All campers must be able to swim 25 yards of the pool unassisted. We may
allow borderline swimmers to participate with a flotation device that we will provide.
Our Adventure Guides are instructed in
procedures for all our activities to insure safety for everyone involved.
In addition, there are at all times,
numerous personnel at the facility
certified in CPR.
Policies
We have procedures in place for the
following: sign in & out, safety,
activity procedures, inclement weather
procedures, snacks & lunch, daily ear drop application, sun screen application, daily scheduling of all activities including breaks, illness, and an emergency action.
Please see policies guidelines for more information.
