Camp Policies

Campers should arrive ready to swim. 

This means:

• Wearing a swimsuit
• Sunscreen already applied
• Camp T-shirt worn over the swimsuit (Tuesday–Friday)

Drop-off runs from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM — no earlier than 8:30 AM.

• We recommend dropping campers off in Stanford Circle where our counselors and CITs will safely escort them inside.
• On Mondays, all parents are required to park and walk their child into the University Whitten Center Building to check in at the pool’s front desk.
• If you prefer to walk your child in, you must park legally and accompany them to the check-in desk.

After 9:00 AM:

• Parents must park and walk campers inside to check in at the front desk.
• This ensures the safety and accurate attendance of all participants.

• FREE Camp T-shirts are distributed on Monday mornings.
• Campers must wear their shirt every day at drop-off, over their swimsuit.
• If a camper arrives without their shirt, they cannot be checked in until they have it.
• Parents may return home to retrieve the shirt, or purchase a new one at check-in for $15 (cash or Zelle accepted).

• Camp ends at 3:00 PM
• Pick-up is from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM in Stanford Circle. 

• If it's raining, staff will bring campers out in groups using walkie-talkies.
• In case of lightning, parents must come inside to pick up their child.
  

Late Pick-Up Policy (Effective Immediately):

• A grace period ends at 3:30 PM.
• Campers not picked up by then will be walked inside, and emergency contacts will be called.
• A late fee of $30 at 3:31 PM, plus $1 per additional minute, will be charged.
• At 3:45 PM, campers will be escorted to UMPD, where they must be picked up.
• Payment is required before the child is released (cash or Zelle to Hurricane Aquatics).

• Only individuals listed on the Camper Information Form will be allowed to pick up your child.
  • A photo ID is required at pick-up — no exceptions.
  • Any updates to authorized pick-up individuals must be sent via email. 
  • If someone arrives who is not listed, we will call the emergency contact for confirmation before releasing the child.

Pick-Up Before 3:00 PM is not permitted unless arranged in advance.

• If you need to pick up early, please let us know in person, by phone, or via email.
• After 2:30 PM, we ask that parents remain in their vehicles, as early arrivals disrupt the camp’s end-of-day routine and safety procedures.
