The safety and concern of children and staff in our care is the most important.

All campers and staff must complete health history forms that are to be signed by a parent or guardian or physician. All of our instructors and counselors are currently Red Cross certified in Life Guarding, CPR, and First Aid. We also maintain a fully stocked Health Center for your child’s comfort and safety in the event he/she requires medical attention.  Additionally, if your child has an allergy (requiring ah Epipen, or other emergency treatment), or any prescribed medication, please tell us in order to make the proper arrangements.

In order to better convenience parents, we offer the Extended Day Option. For an additional $60 per week a camp counselor will supervise your child from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. in the morning and from 5:00pm – 6:00 p.m. in the evening.

Campers plunge into Physique’s daily instructional swim program (morning), as they learn basic swim techniques and safety skills under the supervision and guidance of our Red Cross certified lifeguards and instructors. This year we will start our swim team training, as well as  stroke development lessons.

Our camper’s instructor ratio is:

• Beginner (1)  1 -> 4
• Beginner (2)  1 -> 4
• Advanced (1) 1 -> 5
• Advanced (2) 1 -> 5
• Swim Team Prep 1 -> 6

We ask parents to look at the Level Description to determine an appropriate swimming level for their child. Swim level will be adjusted as instructors see fit and as the camper progresses. As camper progress and complete each level, they will receive achievement awards weekly.

Small groups ensure that every child receives the individual attention, quality of instructions and positive learning experience. Also, we are asking parents to instruct children of the pool safety rules.

Physique Summer camp is far more than a summer job. Physique is about people and making a difference everyday. All staff members are carefully selected and trained with high standards for staff involvement with our campers. Our full time team consists of dedicated professionals who work year-round to build exciting adventures for children of all ages. We are committed to quality and excellence in everything we do, and strive to meet the needs and expectations of our campers and their families.
