Camp Hillcroft Day Camp

Swimming

Here's what our Families are Saying!

Parent of 4th grade and 2nd grade children, 2nd Summer at Hillcroft

This is our second summer. Our son ( age 9), the shy one, was hesitant at the beginning of this year. Having him with “old” friends and placing him with an amazing counselor again gave him the continuity and familiarity he needed. He LOVES camp and requested to be back again NEXT summer too. Our daughter ( age 7) loves camp so much she is already making plans to be a CIT, then counselor. Thanks for such a wonderful setting!

Supervised instructional swim and free swim are scheduled daily in our three pools. Under the leadership of certified life guards and experienced teachers, swim instruction follows American Red Cross guidelines, with small-group attention.

Safety is a major concern at our pools. Through the Health Department accreditation process we have addressed such issues as qualifications of the area supervisor and lifeguards, lookouts, a buddy system, supervision ratios, safety regulations, and emergency procedures. There are 7 Red Cross Swimming Levels.  Here is a list of requirements to pass each level.
