Camper Requirements

  • Campers under the age of 13 must pass the Borough's deep-water swim test by first day of camp.
  • Each camper must have a current Borough Summer Beach Tag to enter the beach.
  • Each camper must be enrolled for a minimum of two weeks.
  • Each camper must have his own US Coast Guard approved life jacket/PFD (personal flotation device).

Camp Fees

The camp fee is $100 per week for each child enrolled. Counselors and CITs participate at no charge.

All camp fees must be paid in-full prior to first day of camp. Any unpaid balances may result in cancellation of enrollment.

Sailboats

Families are encouraged to provide a working Sunfish sailboat for their children during their session(s). If one cannot be provided, a limited number of boats are available for rent at a rate of $40 per week. Boats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Campers are responsible for the rigging, putaway and general care of their boat during the rental period. Rental boats may only be used during supervised camp activities.

Volunteering

The MLSA is run by volunteers and needs the support of each family. Check out the calendar and sign up to lend a hand with a variety of activities like moving boats, the parent social, beach bonfire, etc. Each family is required to volunteer for at least one event.

Weather

Camp sessions will run rain or shine. In the event of beach closure by lifeguards due to thunder storms or other causes, camp sessions will be suspended until lifeguards reopen the beach. In the event of lightning, please come to the beach to retrieve your children as there are not enough structures to shelter them. No refunds are given for classes that are cancelled due to bad weather.

Refunds

No refunds will be given after Friday, June 24 unless the spot can be filled from the waiting list.

Disciplinary Actions

A camper who has violated a safety rule or displayed poor sportsmanship may be dismissed from a session or expelled from camp for any length of time at the discretion of the camp director.


"Now then, said Christopher Robin, "Where's your boat?" "I ought to say," explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island, "that it isn't an ordinary boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident, It all depends," "Depends on what?" "On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it." - Winnie-The-Pooh by A. A. Milne.
