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! And we will send reminders to make sure you and your camper are on top of the necessary preparation for your camp.
What makes camp different from a regular class?
Camps provide the added benefit of learning to dive with your peers and can provide ready 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 certification 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?
