Here is just one new element we are adding to our waterfront.

This awesome rope swing attaches to the Summit Express (our big triangle shaped slide thingy).

What do you think?

Eric, our camp director, attended a waterfront safety workshop in January.  He came back to camp very pleased that our waterfront policies and procedures already addressed every single area of caution or concern raised by the trainer.  We far exceed every national and international recommendation for lifeguard to swimmer ratios.  The trainer at the event was very impressed with our weekly 1 hour in=-service training we do with our lifeguards.  We meet all ACA (American Camp Association) aquatic standards and have on our summer staff a Red Cross certified LGI (Lifeguard Instructor).

As we add this new swing to our waterfront, we are in the midst of a complete waterfront safety audit.  Something we do every year.  Just one more way we live our 1st core value of Safety First.  (You can read about all of our core values here)
