FAQs
All kids in Day and Overnight Camp get to swim daily (weather dependent). We do offer Swim Lessons as an Add On for an additional fee, campers are taught a 40 minute lesson Monday-Thursday by our YMCA certified swim instructors.
We will use emails to keep you informed about camp (especially before and after sessions). We also constantly update our Facebook page, so it is one of the best ways to keep up with us daily. The website will have information updated as well, but not as quickly as Facebook. If emergencies or other needs come up, we will call by phone.
We have a few Camp Open Houses throughout the year where you can meet staff, tour the grounds, and enjoy a couple activities. We can also set up private tours, just contact us at 817-738-9241 or at [email protected]
