I just wanted to thank you for the great summer Harrison had at summer camp! You all made them feel comfortable, supported and confident, and I couldn’t believe how his skills have improved!

It was great to see them playing outside, making new friends and using their imaginations to make up new games with movement, rhythm and sports. Harrison’s already asked me if he can go to camp again next year!
The Carlson Family
This was my son and daughter's first summer at Swim&Gym and they loved it! Their favorite part was the swimming, and they made many new friends. The counselors were very energetic and made my kids feel very welcome.
The Webber Family
Kate had a blast this summer!! She attended camp with a few of her friends, and they learned so many new games and activities. She had a great time on the field trips, too. Kate cannot wait to come back next year!
The Griffin Family
This was Joey’s third year at Swim&Gym, and he looks forward to it every year! He attends camp all summer long and makes so many new friends. The counselors and coaches are very attentive to each camper’s needs, and they work hard to make every camper feel welcome in a new environment.

My son’s first year was a little scary for him because he didn’t know anyone, but he made friends the very first day! I would recommend Swim&Gym to any parent out there looking for a fun alternative to summer daycare.
The Siman Family
Swim&Gym was so much fun this year! It’s all my kids talked about. They loved getting to make-up their team names and meeting all the new campers every week. Their favorite sports were tennis, basketball, and gymnastics!

The extended care was a huge help with my work schedule, and the kids enjoyed spending even more time with their friends after camp. Thanks for a wonderful summer!
The Johnston Family
Jolee had an excellent time this summer with her friends at camp. The variety of sports keeps the campers busy all week and it’s never repetitive. Everyday it’s something new. We plan to bring even more friends to camp next year!
