Important notes regarding field trip safety:
Transportation: Campers are transported by specially licensed drivers in shuttle busses
or 15 passenger vans. All laws regarding seat belts and booster seats are enforced.
Our Camper to Counselor Ratio for this program is a maximum of 4:1 with 3:1 or even 2:1 for
the younger campers or those who require extra attention.
Trips to Water World are done on low attended weekdays and campers are required to wear life
vests while at the park except for those strong swimmers who have written exemption from their parent / guardian to not wear
lifevests. Water World has wonderful play areas specially designed for younger campers that are safe and very well supervised
with trained lifeguards and our staff as well. Along with low attendance in the park on these weekdays and high levels
of supervision, our trips to Water World are safer than traditional civic pool visits. These trips are always the highlights
of the week for our young campers.
Trips to Discovery Kingdom are also done on low attended weekdays and along with our very
low camper to counselor ratios these trips are safe and loads of summer fun. Campers enjoy age appropiate amusement
rides, animal shows and so much more.
Beach trips are done at inland S.F. Bay Beaches like Crowne Memorial in Alameda with no undertow
and very little wave action.
