Lunch, Snack & Water: Please remember to pack a healthy lunch, snacks, and refillable water bottle every day. As there is no microwave available to heat food, please refrain from packing microwavable meals. Rainy Day Programming: Camp Finberg operates rain or shine. In the event of rain we try to keep program as close to normal as possible whether it be indoors or outdoors. Please send your child with appropriate clothing and footwear on rainy days. High Heat Days: During the summer, camp is sometimes faced with a few days with temperatures reaching into the 100s. On days like these, the camp staff monitor closely for signs of heat related sickness and increase aquatics activities. Footwear: All campers must wear sneakers and socks. Sandals are only allowed in the bath house and pool area. Aquatics: Our 8-lane, 25-meter pool is ideal for providing lessons and plenty of opportunities to cool off on those hot days. Staffed by lifeguards, your child will improve their swimming ability in a safe and secure environment. Campers swim at least once every day. Our first priority around the water is safety. We’ve adopted the Y of the USA’s recommended best practices in order to ensure your child’s safety at camp. ALL Campers will be tested on their first day of swimming. Swim Test: Jump into the pool and tread water for 30 seconds then swim one pool length of rudimentary front crawl without flotation. If a camper can pass the swim test, they may swim anywhere in the pool and must wear a green bracelet. Any camper who does not pass the swim test will be restricted to a designated area of the pool based on ability. Campers may use PFD (life jacket) as needed.
