Swim Program
We are so lucky to have a pool on our campus and a part of our campers daily programming. The pool starts with a beach entrance/shallow teaching area that gradually gets deeper and deeper.
All Junior Campers have a 25-minute swim block each day (as long as the weather allows). During this block, campers will take part in group swim instruction that allows them to become more comfortable in the pool and practice basic water skills. Campers learn and develop new skills by playing games, such as Over/Under Limbo, Four Corners, Red Rover, and Sharks and Minnows.
Senior Campers have the option each day to come to the pool for a 45-minute free-swim during their Workshop time.
BEFORE/AFTER CAMP SWIM LESSONS
Our private lesson program is designed to enhance and support the daily pool time. These thirty minute sessions are offered before and after camp from 9:00-9:30AM, 3:00-3:30 PM and 3:30-4:00PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week. Many campers opt for private lessons once per week, but some campers sign up for more to work on specific skills and stroke mechanics.
Private lessons are $60 per session, and parents will after the lesson has taken place. If the lesson is cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled less, families will be charged a 50% cancellation fee.
Please email camp@greenacres.org with any questions you may have (or to be placed on a waitlist for any swim lesson date/time)!
