Campers must pass a swim test in order to register for any of our Aquatic Summer Camp Programs. These programs are intended for experienced swimmers. (Completion of at least American Red Cross Level 4 or above is recommended.) While there will be some "stroke clinic" work during the program, swimming instruction is NOT the main purpose of this camp.

Are you done with “kiddie camp,” but you still look forward to the friendships and adventures that summer camp brings?
Are you looking for something to do this summer that will challenge you physically and mentally; and will help you prepare for the challenges of college?
Are you the camper who spent all of their time at the pool or in the boats at the lake? Or would spend your whole summer at the beach (if you could?)
If so, we’re looking for you to join the crew of the 2010 AQUATIC LEADERSHIP ADVENTURE PROGRAM.
Two-week, four-week, and six-week programs are available. Fee for two weeks is $650 for JCC Members, $725 for Non-Members, which includes daily lunch and travel for special programs.

F.L.O.A.T. Program ("For Leadership of Aquatics" Training Program)
(For Swimmers ages 15 & up; interview and application required)
Camp has its C.I.T. Program; Aquatics has the F.L.O.A.T. Program.
Gain the experience and certifications needed to gain employment with top-level Aquatics programs. Participants will get advanced training and certification in Aquatics-related disciplines while providing instruction and leadership to the crews in their care.
This is a six-week program (June 21 - July 30); participants must commit to being available for the entire length of the program. Selected participants will be eligible for a greatly reduced rate on camp fees, and may be eligible for community service hours.
The JCC of Greater Baltimore has applied for a grant which would significantly increase the scope of this program. Final details will therefore not be available until mid-February, 2010. Campers who are interested in this program should submit a deposit for the "Aquatic Leadership Camp," and should submit a letter of interest (from the camper) indicating why they are interested in joining the JCC Aquatic Staff as a "F.L.O.A.T.-er."
Contact Bill Kirkner at 410-356-5200 x318 or bkirkner@jcc.org for more details.
