What is the preschool swim lessons camp?
This two-week swim camp session is designed for campers ages 4–5 who would like to work towards the Lifesaving Society (LSS) Preschool swim levels. Campers will have one lesson in the morning and one lesson in the afternoon with an LSS-certified instructor, helping them to progress through skills with the aim of achieving a level by the end of the two-week session. When not in the water, campers will participate in fun, camp-style programming led by our exceptional camp staff! Land programming will be a combination of active outdoor play, as well as fun games and engaging arts and craft activities.
Camp Guide
Dress Code
All campers should be dressed appropriately for an active Camp Program. We recommend running shoes and comfortable clothing that can get dirty. All Mini Campers should bring at least one change of clothes in case of accidents or dirty clothes requiring a change.
Daily Activities
While each camp has a focus, camp-style games and programming will also be incorporated every day, including daily outdoor activities. Please send sunscreen, a hat and water bottle labelled with your camper’s name to camp each day.
Swimming
Mini Campers will have the opportunity to participate in recreational swimming twice per week. Campers should come prepared with a bathing suit and towel on their swim days (a schedule will be sent to registered families). Please note there is no alternative programming available during swim time. All Mini Campers will be required to wear lifejackets (provided by BHDC) while swimming.
Meals
Lunch and a healthy snack are included each day. Please refer to our camp menu for details. You may want to pack extra snacks or alternatives if your camper may not like the lunch or snack options provided.
