Camp Ratios
Camp Ratios vary depending on your child’s age and activity. The basic Camp Counselor to camper ratio is 8:1. Bouncing Bears is 6:1. When your child is participating in our Signature Programs the ratio will reflect that program.
Studies show that swim lessons offer children many benefits including;
In other words….swimming is good for children. After all, “You can’t find a better sport to save your life”!
Each day at Action Kids Summer Camp, all campers receive a structured swim lesson, taught by our WSI trained Water Wonders Swim School Instructors.
Students are grouped by age and skill level during camp instructional swim time.
We maintain low ratios in the pool, to ensure quality instruction and safety. Additionally during camp swim lessons there is always a lifeguard on duty.
We make every possible effort to provide the daily swim lesson and free swim time; however, if swimming must be cancelled due to unsafe conditions we do not provide a make-up.
Our pool is heated and warm all summer long. Kids will love it!
On a typical summer camp day, campers have the opportunity to enjoy some free time in the pool. Open swim is a big hit with all the campers. Not only is it a chance to play, but also a great way to re-enforce the skills the campers learned in swim class! Open Swim is supervised by Red Cross Certified Lifeguards and Camp Staff.
Instead of having a separate time for Open Swim, a designated “Free Swim” time will be incorporated into each camp group’s swim lesson. Most groups it is in the last 15 minutes of their 45-minute swim block.
The Open Swim ratio is 10:1, including certified lifeguards and camp staff.
Pool safety rules are reinforced daily. Weak/non swimmers are required to wear flotation devices while in Open Swim.
We like to say that gymnastics builds character, but it really builds much more than that. It builds stronger children in many amazing ways!
With benefits in balance, strength and agility, all campers will enjoy learning basic to advanced skills in a safe atmosphere. Each lesson is structured to meet the camp group’s skill level.
Four days a week, all campers participate in our Activity Clubs, which are designed to develop specific skills/interests.
Campers will choose from 2 or 3 activities in the mornings when arrive at their groups.
Senior Camp can choose from:
Junior Camp will choose from:
Creativity abounds at Brentwood Commons!
Each day our campers have many opportunities to express their creative side! All campers have a creative, theme-based art project built into their weekly schedules. Some projects are individual projects, while other days campers will work together to create a group project.
Older Campers are often involved in creating larger scale projects for the camp. LITs and Junior Counselors will be given a role in preparing for the events on Fun Friday’s.
Activity Clubs also offer campers an opportunity to flex their creative muscle — an inquisitive “Curious Kids Club” and an inspired “Creative Kids Club” are included in the daily programming.
Nature is an opportunity for campers to interact with the natural world around them through structured activity and guided lessons. During Nature, activities may include building birdhouses or learning about life under the ocean. We also have a camp garden that campers help tend. Campers will enjoy their Nature block in the Nature Nook.
Archery is taught for ALL full day camp groups! Certified archery instructors will introduce campers to basic archery skills. Curriculum includes safety training.
Every day, each camp group will have a block for classic camp activities like fort building in the woods, GAGA ball, battling in Nerf Wars, scooter races, scavenger hunts, group challenges and more!
Camp fire building, tent building, knot tying and more! Campers will get the chance to go back to their roots! Campers will learn new skills that they can bring to all of their outdoor adventures.
The Game Zone and Sport Court are filled with team activities. Camp groups will enjoy learning new games and playing familiar ones. This block offers campers time to play together, enjoy cardio activities as well as skill development!
Unstructured outdoor play is crucial for the development of young bodies and minds. Each day, we include a block of time for LCP, where campers can dig in the sand, dribble a ball, or play make believe with their friends.
Every day is fun at Action Kids Summer Camp, but Fridays…they are just special!
Whether it is Carnival Day, the Olympic Games or an amazing Talent Show, Fun Friday’s are a weekly tradition that make each summer new and exciting.
The magic of special events adds to the feeling of a strong sense of community at Action Kids Summer Camp.
We also offer Pizza Lunch on Fridays! For a nominal fee, campers can feast on pizza, snacks and juice at lunch.
