During water days at All American, campers will have the opportunity to utilize various water slides, diving boards, splash pads, parks, sand play areas, and splash toys. All campers will undergo a swimming assessments! Non-swimmers stay with their counselors at all times! Each pool/water park also has specific areas designated for less experienced swimmers (splash pads and kiddie pools). Safety is always our first concern! All American stations counselors in strategic positions around and within the entire pool/water park facility. Lifeguards guarding are also available at all of our swimming locations.

 

Counselors In Training (CIT’s)/Volunteers

It takes a special, responsible, and fun-loving teenager to work with children.

CIT’s train to become skilled and caring counselors who take initiative and have a great imagination. They will spend a portion of the day assisting counselors through rotating assignments in the traditional schedule and the remaining time with their respective groups. These activities may include sports, arts and crafts, STEM, team-building, leadership training, and assisting special guests.

How Does The CIT Program Work at All American?

The All American Directors and the most experienced counselors are the ones who train our CIT’s in each area of what it means to be a camp counselor, in addition to promoting All American’s values and philosophies. Some of its benefits:

  • It promotes independence and maturity for a demanding and competitive future.

  • It provides communication and problem-solving skills for future challenges (college and work).

  • Encourage lifelong friendships, experience, and leadership.

To participate, you must be of High School age, have a passion for working with children, be willing to work cooperatively with others, and show initiative in completing daily tasks. All American Summer Camp does not guarantee a CIT position will be available. Note: Please email us if your child is interested in becoming a CIT. All CIT’s must be approved by directors prior to registering. CIT’s are only permitted to attend on days we stay on campus.

 

Our Rainy Day Plan

All American has it covered! We have multiple rainy day activities so the rain never dampens our Competitive Spirit! We also have the option of returning to Christa McAullife Middle School(Field Trip inclement weather) for Bingo, Karaoke, Dance Party, or indoor games.
