Camp Swimming:
Throughout the summer, Lake Country Campers will head to local guarded pools and parks to go swimming as scheduled on the field trip schedule each week. If there is in-climate weather, the trip will be canceled and campers will remain at Camp with other planned activities. 

Swim Tests: To ensure safety, all campers will be swim tested during their first swim trip. Passing the swim test provides them access to swim in deeper water areas that are supervised by our Y’s lifeguards and Camp staff. In order to easily identify campers who have passed the swim test and to ensure the highest level of safety, we will give everyone a necklace to indicate swim ability (beginner or advanced). Campers will also have opportunities across the summer to retake the swim test.
