SWIM PROGRAM

CITs & SITs will participate in the swim program when their camp group is scheduled at the pool. Banner swim directors and staff will work with the CITs and SITs to place them with a counselor and begin learning how to teach swim instruction. The campers truly enjoy swimming, playing and bonding with the CITs and SITs.
