A Typical Day at Camp (Without Giving It All Away!)
We like to keep a bit of surprise for our campers, but here’s a general idea of what a day at Summer Camp at Makai Swim School includes:
Campers are welcomed each morning with a smile and a chance to ease into the day with relaxed playtime. From there, we move into our first themed activity or craft of the day, often inspired by the week’s theme — think pirate maps, glittery mermaid art, or mini fizzy explosions for science week.
Kids also enjoy daily swim time, with additional water games or extended pool fun on our popular “all-day swim” days, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Throughout the day, campers have time for outdoor free play, structured group games, and snack and lunch breaks (sunscreen is applied regularly to keep everyone safe under the sun).
Our camp days are designed to flow naturally and balance imagination, movement, rest, and social interaction, creating a rhythm that works well for both energetic campers and quieter ones.
Staff Who Truly Care
Our summer camp counselors are all trained swim instructors and experienced in working with children. Each team member also receives specialized training in our in-house summer camp curriculum, so every camper gets a consistent, high-quality experience.
A certified Lifeguard is always on site during camp hours, and our low 6:1 camper-to-counselor ratio allows us to truly connect with each child and support their needs throughout the day.
Many of our counselors are former campers themselves — and some even started as volunteers once they aged out of camp. We’re proud to see kids grow up with us and come back to share the magic with the next generation!
Why You Should Register Early
Because we intentionally keep camp groups small to ensure safety and quality, spots are very limited — and they go fast! Many of our campers return year after year, and we love hearing how Summer Camp at Makai Swim School is one of their favorite summer traditions.
To ensure your child gets a spot in your preferred theme weeks, we strongly recommend registering as soon as possible.
