Camps in the time of Covid-19: What you need to know about Gym and Swim

The Governor’s Executive Order No. 35 identifies the following groups: Bowling Alleys, Arcades, Climbing Gyms, Water Sports Activities, Golf Driving Ranges, Mini Golf Facilities, Shooting Ranges, Dance Classes, or other similar activities or venues that can achieve and maintain capacity and proximity limitations. These groups are permitted to operate provided they are:

In groups of LESS than ten (10) persons.
Such persons and groups maintain at least six (6) feet of separation from one another and avoid physical contact.

As we look to move life forward, understand that the rules are subject to change, and we need to be flexible as we try to adjust to our new normal.

So, what will Gym and Swim look like?

This is not black and white. Possible camp day may look like:

Camp will begin each day with 2 groups. 9 campers in each.
Group 1 will begin in field, while group 2 will begin in canoes.
10:00- Group 1 will swim. Group 2 go to Field.
10:30- Group 1 will eat lunch and Group 2 will swim.
11:00- Group 1 will go to canoes, and Group 2 will eat lunch.
11:30- Groups will divide into 4 multi age teams
2 teams will begin in field for non-contact challenges, while the other 2 will begin in Canoes for non-contact challenges.
Teams will swap areas.
Camper dismissal

We will ask that each parent take camper temperature before sign in each day. Temperatures will be recorded. Sign ins and sign outs will look different. Lunches will be kept in backpacks until camper retrieves it for lunch. Extra water will be provided by camper, there will be NO communal water jugs on site. Field games and Team Challenges will look different to make sure contact is avoided. Only 2 in canoe will be allowed. Equipment, paddles and canoes will be wiped down and sprayed before, during and end of each day.

We will make changes as it becomes necessary to ensure the safest camp experience. Just know that camp WILL LOOK DIFFERENT!

There will only be allowed 18 campers each week of camp. We are asking that you only sign up for no more than 2 camps to begin with. We will have a waiting list sign up, in the case a camper cannot make it or the Governor’s Executive order is amended.

You may email your child’s application to gymandswimsummercamps@gmail.com. Since applications will be taken in the order they are received, you will be contacted to let you know if you are the first 18, or waiting list. If you are in the first 18, you will then need to mail, Venmo or drop in box at Sea Star, CLEARLY LABELED, to keep your child’s spot.

What is Gym and Swim Summer Camp?

Gym and Swim offers many unique activities for your child. The camp day is 8:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Each week camp is structured around a theme, and the week's activities embrace that week's theme!

All campers will be placed into 2 groups. To begin the camp day, your child will be placed into a group with similar age campers.   This group will travel to 3 different stations, which are Swim, Field and Canoe. Here is where all campers will learn and practice skills that will increase their confidence needed in team challenges. There is a simple formula for our challenges:   Challenges + Theme= SUPER FUN!

Your camper will also be in a multi-level age team. Teams will compete with each other in challenges to earn points. This type of purposeful play encourages team building and problem solving skills. These intentional activities separate Gym and Swim from other camps. We also have trained counselors who add to the our camp's excitement. They help guide the development of our campers.

Gym and Swim counselors are leaders, who are not so far removed from being campers themselves.  Gym and Swim at Sea Star is a fast-paced camp with the intent to grow leaders.

All of us here at Gym and Swim are excited about Summer 2020!   Join us today!
