Waterfront procedures and Christian Law Compliance:
All Campers and staff must complete a swim assessment immediately upon entering the water on their first day in
attendance. Designations of non-swimmer, beginner,or swimmer will be noted on each camper's buddy tag.Swim-
ming will be limited to the appropriate area depending on their ability.
The buddy system will be used as a safety check during their swim time.Campers must have a buddy having the same
or lesser ability and will be required to stay in the same area at all times while on the waterfront.
PFD's are available for use by any child regardless of their swimming ability.
As part of the aquatics program,all campers will be instructed on the proper usage of the pfds.Campers will be taught
how to wear and properly fit the pfd's.
Campers will be encouraged to experience the pdf by trying one on and floating.This will help children who need to
wear the pdf feel more comfortable about putting one on.
All boating activities require the use of PFDs. Boating can only be participated in by campers who have passed the
swimmer test.When campers are boating their buddy tags must be placed on the boating board rather than listed with
those using the swimming area.If they choose to remain in the waterfront after boating,they will need to move their
buddy tags back to the swimming boards.
