DAY CAMPERS: 

Day campers have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable camp without the need to stay at camp overnight. Day campers MUST be checked in with their camp counselor at The Cambridge café by 7:30am for breakfast each day.  After breakfast, day campers will join their camp groups for the same activities and plans as residential campers. Day campers are invited to participate in all activities in the evening.



FACILITIES:

All pool sessions are held at the Texas A&M University Recreation Center Natatorium.  The natatorium is recognized as one of the finest and fastest in the country and has recently undergone a massive renovation which was unveiled in September, 2014.  The facility has been host to numerous collegiate, national and international level swimming meets, including the 2013 SEC Championships, women's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in both 2009 and 2004 and men's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in 2001, 1998 FINA World Cup and 1998 U.S. Open.  At the 2001 Men’s NCAA Championships 25 NCAA, American and U.S. Open records were broken here. And in December of 1998 at the U.S. Open and World Cup Meets 67 records including American and World records fell. This spectacular $12.5 million state-of-the-art natatorium is our camp home.

There are no lockers available at the TAMU Rec Center for campers to utilize while at the pool. Because of this we recommend that campers do not bring valuables to the pool facility. Backpacks and equipment are recommended to be brought onto the pool deck and left in the stands during all practices.



FEES:

Fees for the 2025 Aggie Swim Camp Season are $850 for Day Campers and $900 for Residential Campers. The fee(s) of $850 and $900 are for each camper for each session. 

A deposit of $300 is required at the time of registration. The remaining balance is required by April 1st, 2025. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the camper forfeiting their camp session spot and filled with a camper on the waitlist. Should a camper from the waitlist be placed in a session, after April 1st, the full balance of $850 or $900 will be required at that time. 

HEALTH & SAFETY: 

The health and safety of our campers is our number one priority. Alcohol, drugs, inappropriate behavior and tobacco products are strictly prohibited and could result in dismissal from camp without a refund. Experienced male and female coaches, counselors, and staff will provide 24-hour supervision for all campers, including weekends for campers staying more than one session. Counselors live at the dorm facility on the same floors as the campers and are available 24 hours per day. All coaches, counselors, and staff have passed a background check, attended extensive training conducted by the Texas A&M University University Youth Protection Department, and are intensly screened prior to working with any campers. 



Roll calls are conducted anytime campers move from a location or activity to ensure all campers are safely enjoying all aspects of camp. Additional roll calls could occur at any time. 

The Camp Director as well as a Certified Athletic Trainer will remain at camp and will reside in dorms with campers during all camp sessions. The Camp Director and/or the Certified Athletic Trainer will be available 24/7 to dispense medication and provide medical assistance at any time. Campers with medical needs such as medications, medical devices, dietary restrictions, etc. MUST speak with the Camp Director or Athletic Trainer during check-in AND check-out.
