Failure to stay with their counselor could result in swimming privileges being suspended. Each camper will complete a swim test completed by the pool staff. This test will determine their swim level while at

the pool with SAC. Please remind your camper, camp rules may be different than family rules. Please provide your camper with their own sunscreen.
