Camp Pelican offers a comprehensive swim program designed to maximize instructional and recreational opportunities for every camper. A commitment to safety first, certified professional staff and excellent facilities underlie its continued success.

Our swimming facilities feature both indoor and outdoor pools for maximum camper enjoyment. The outdoor pools include a small pool with a constant depth of 2 1/2 feet making it perfect for our youngest campers. A larger outdoor pool is used by older campers for swim lessons and recreational swims. A huge indoor heated pool is also used daily and guarantees that rainy days are never a problem.

All lifeguard/instructors are certified by the American Red Cross and skills are tested annually by our Swim Director. Safety is obviously our primary concern and out trained staff supervises every pool activity. Swim lessons are mandatory for all campers. Campers develop and enhance their swim skills in ability-appropriate classes. Certification cards are available to all campers who meet the American Red Cross standards.

Swim lessons are scheduled four days a week for all campers. Recreational swims are available everyday for most campers.

 

Summer fun is assured by the many activities offered at Camp Pelican every camping day. Our campers enjoy a wonderful array of sports and games, creative arts, non-sports fun and special trips and events.

Every camper is involved in a wide variety of athletic activities as a part of their regular weekly schedule. We believe that all campers, regardless of age, can benefit from an active summer experience. Our unique philosophy emphasizes fun and learning in an enthusiastic, yet non-competitive environment.

Our equipment is appropriately sized to each age group so that every camper can learn safely and comfortably. Camp Pelican provides everything a child needs to develop skills and confidence at their own pace. Our program is designed to balance instructional and recreational periods for optimal camper enjoyment.

Sports and games include basketball, floor hockey, baseball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, archery and bowling. Campers also enjoy lacrosse, kickball and a huge variety of field games and activities.

We also feature a full non-sports program filled with creative and intellectual opportunities for every camper. Campers can indulge their interests in arts & crafts, drama, computers, cooking and digital photography.

Throughout the camping season, our regular programs are enhanced by special events. We host a number of on-site special days with camp wide participation. These popular theme days, along with other professionally staged events, constantly renew camp spirit and enthusiasm.

The goal is to provide an active and challenging summer experience for every camper. Our diverse programs and activities are designed to meet the unique interests of each camper.
