THREE GREAT SWIM CAMPS
TWO CONVENIENT LOCATIONS
Competitive Swimming Overnight Camp: Our premiere summer program. Spend two to seven weeks with us, and we will impact your swimming. Our primary objective is for you to attain heights in the pool that you would not have achieved had you not come to Pine Crest Swim Camp. If you are a competitive swimmer, this camp will bring you to the next level. .
Competitive Swimming Day Camp: A sister program to our Overnight Camp, the Day Camp lets you follow the same daily routine as the overnight camp, but without staying overnight in our residence facility. Perfect for local swimmers or vacationers wanting a day-activity for their children.
Rising Star Day Camp: The perfect day camp opportunity for kids who love to be in the pool! Great for the developing competitor.
