All campers are swim tested and wrist banded appropriately based on the ability to swim one length of the pool. Campers must pass the swim test with a grade above a level 1 to use the slide and swim in the lap pool.
Field Trip Schedule
The camp trip schedule will be posted and email to families via ePACT the first few weeks of May. Field trips will take place on Wednesdays or Fridays. Please keep in mind that on field trip days, Explorers Camp will be gone for the majority of the day. This means they typically will not return to Park Place until around 3:00–3:30 PM on most trip days. If you’re interested in your camper(s) attending on these field trip days, we recommend registering in advance. Spaces tend to fill up quickly and we cannot promise spaces will be open once camp starts.
