Outside Area Test
During camper orientation on the first day, all campers will take the outside area test and get placed in a swim class.
If your camper does not pass the test the first time, they can try again! Each afternoon during free time campers can come try again, unless announced at lunch time announcements. Please note can only try once per day.

Swim out to the tower and jump off the deck of the tower. Jump or dive – your preference!
Swim on your frontside about 20 yards to the backside of the slide. You can do whatever stroke you would like. Tip: conserve your leg energy!
Tread water with both hands out of the water (minimum wrists and up) for 90 seconds – a Huckins minute!
Swim on your backside the same 20 yards back to the tower, your stroke of choice.
