About Swim&Gym Summer Camp

Established in 2003, Swim&Gym, LLC is a co-ed summer camp catering to children aged 5 to 12, offering flexible durations from one to eleven weeks, or the option for a full summer experience. Nestled in an outdoor setting, Swim&Gym provides an active environment where children can disconnect from screens, gain new friendships, and immerse themselves in engaging themed games brimming with adventures.

Maintaining a counselor-to-camper ratio of 1 to 10, we prioritize individual attention and a safe, enjoyable experience for every child. Over the years, Swim&Gym has evolved into the premier summer camp destination in the Madison area. Due to its popularity, our camp tends to sell out quickly each year. Secure your preferred week(s) early to ensure your child’s participation and guarantee an exciting, fun-filled experience.

Our objective: Our overarching goal is to cultivate a dynamic and enjoyable experience for every camper within a lively, technology-free environment. Through a diverse array of games, activities, sports, and thematic pursuits, we aim to create an engaging atmosphere that fosters not only fun but also meaningful connections. The spirited and compassionate staff at Swim & Gym contributes to this by fostering a positive environment where campers not only enjoy their time but also build lasting friendships throughout the summer.

Swim & Gym is dedicated to providing a secure and active setting that promotes holistic growth—physically, socially, and emotionally—setting the stage for a lifetime of success. Our counselors play a pivotal role in achieving this objective by adopting a personalized approach, coaching, educating, and motivating each camper on an individual level.

Mission Statement:  We create a safe and supportive space for campers to grow socially, emotionally, and physically. Through play, teamwork, and active involvement, we guide children in forming new friendships, gaining independence, embracing challenges, and seizing enjoyable opportunities.

Campers Code of Conduct: Embrace new experiences, cultivate inclusivity, kindness, and helpfulness, and prioritize safety above all!

Safety:  Our team members are certified in First Aid and CPR, and undergo thorough background checks. Lifeguards supervise swimming activities to ensure the safety of all participants.

Before camp, our staff undergo rigorous training covering child development, effective communication, emergency procedures, and building meaningful connections. This ensures they’re fully prepared to offer a safe, enriching, and enjoyable experience for all campers.
