FAQs
Is there homework?
Yes! Each student will receive a course manual. Read all FIVE chapters and answer the knowledge reviews associated with each chapter BEFORE the first day of class.
What happens if I don't finish the work?
Don't let that happen. Our camps fill up quickly and it may be difficult to get you into a different class, plus you don't want your parents paying a rescheduling fee, do you?
What makes camp differ from a regular class?
Camps provide the added benefit of learning to dive with your peers. This makes for a lot of fun during camp and can provide built-in dive buddies for future dives. Camps also provide an additional day of confined-water skills practice which makes students more proficient in their open-water checkout dives.
Is transportation to and from the lake included?
No. You will be required to transport your teen to and from the lake on the Thursday and Friday of camp.
Where can we get the required equipment?
All camp participants receive a 10% in-store discount from the time of registration through the completion of camp. Campers must have a mask, fins, boots, and snorkel PRIOR to the start of camp.
