Summer 2024 – BRONZE STAR Camps

• A couple of towels … it’s beneficial to have more than (1) towel in order to stay warm and dry in-between swims.
• Swim Goggles are strongly recommended. Borrowing goggles from our ‘lost & found’ is not recommended for health & safety reasons.
• A notebook and a pen or pencil may be needed as the camp progresses.

• A full cafeteria LUNCH IS INCLUDED with our Summer Lifesaving Camps. No outside food is allowed inside the dining area. Our cafeteria has a selection of vegetarian, gluten free and Halal food options. SNACKS are encouraged as well, if needed to get through these (7)+ hour days.
