Celebrating 23 Years of Summer Memories by Helping Kids Grow Through Confidence, Connection, and Fun.

Excellent camp! Highly recommend. The counselors were great with my child. She loved going and had a great experience.

We LOVE Swim & Gym. Our kids have gone to this camp for two summers, and we love the activities, field trips, and tenured counselors. The kids come home tired, dirty, and happy. All signs of a great summer camp 🙂

We love Swim Gym! I have sent my 2 daughters the last two summers and plan to again this summer! They always enjoy the creative themes and fun field trips! And on top of it all, the girls love getting to know their counselors and other campers. 

My daughters absolutely loved the variety of activities offered each day-routine swim practice, exciting field trips, and creative themed activities that kept things fresh and fun. They came home happily exhausted every afternoon from all the laughter, activity, and adventure.

This is the 3rd year our son has attended Swim & Gym Summer Camp. He loves it! The staff is fantastic and very organized. The activities are terrific: sports court, swimming, scavenger hunts, arts & crafts, field trips, etc There is a different theme each week-never a dull moment! He looks forward to going to Swim & Gym every day!
