Pool Float

Afternoon campers in Kehila, Ruach, and Kef use our pool float every Friday as part of their swimming time. Extra camp staff and lifeguards will be on deck to supervise. Campers who have not passed the swim assessment will be required to wear a life jacket. 

• The swim assessment consists of jumping in the deep end,               swimming on front halfway across the pool, rolling over unassisted, and swimming the remaining length on back.
• Campers who are able to complete the swim assessment will not be required to wear life jackets, except Simcha campers. Life jackets will be available for all swimmers. 

Swim lessons for campers can be added on at a discounted rate.
See your summer Program Guide for class days and times. Transport to and from lessons from camp is available for campers.
