Camp Code of Conduct

Our primary objective is to create positive change in the swimmers who attend our camps. Moreover, we want to ensure the safety of our campers at all times and provide a healthy, learning atmosphere. To achieve these objectives, we ask that swimmers conduct themselves in a positive and responsible manner. With that in mind, we created a Positive Code of Conduct and ask that all swimmers adhere to it:

  • To think positive and act positive throughout your stay with us.
  • To behave with proper etiquette at the pool facility and camp residence at all times.
  • To behave like ladies or gentlemen at all camp functions.
  • To treat fellow campers, coaches, pool and residence staff with the respect, consideration and kindness they deserve.
  • To be on time for all camp functions.
  • To bring all necessary equipment to all pool, dry-land, and classroom sessions.
  • To maintain cleanliness of the pool deck and facility at all times.
  • To report any personal problems or concerns to a staff member immediately.
  • To report any sign of illness or injury to a staff member immediately.
  • To stay with assigned staff member (i.e. chaperone or coach) at all times.
  • To stay in assigned groups at all camp functions.
  • To stay within the camp residence at all times unless given permission by a staff member.
  • To observe all curfew rules as outlined by the camp staff.
  • To keep the hotel room neat and tidy at all times.
  • To respect the privacy of fellow campmates (no boys in girls’ rooms and no girls in boys’ rooms).
  • To respect fellow campers and camp staff by limiting cell phone use during camp functions. No phone calls are allowed after the evening Lights Out and before the morning Wake-Up Call. We recommend making your calls to family and friends between 4:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Any serious violation of camp regulations, such as willful damage to the pool facility or lodging property and/or behavior deemed unsuitable and detrimental to the best interest of the camp, will result in immediate dismissal from camp. Drugs, alcohol and smoking are strictly forbidden. No refund will be available should a swimmer be asked to leave under these circumstances.
