Swimming

Our magnificent swim program, a highlight of your child’s camp experience, is under the direction of 27-year Beth Sholom veteran Mike Weinick. Mike heads a seasoned staff of Certified Lifeguards and instructors and proudly boasts that "virtually 100% of campers will learn to swim".

At Beth Sholom, we have three heated outdoor pools. Campers are given a swim evaluation on the first day or two of camp. They are then placed in a swim group according to both age and ability. Testing is ongoing all summer, so that campers may move from one level to another. Our campers wil have a period of instructional swim every morning to develop their swimming and water safety skills throughout the summer. There will also be a recreational swim every afternoon where the campers will be free to show off their new abilities to their friends and counselors, or just have fun.

Beth Sholom Day Camp offers:


  • Swimming twice a day (Full Day Program)
  • Pool Slides
  • Snorkeling
  • Progress Reports to Parents

A word about Safety

Safety is ALWAYS our #1 consideration. We have an intensive safety-training program for all staff prior to the start of camp, and continuously throughout the summer. Protective gear, which is required for certain activities, is provided.
