NEW: Open-Water Swim to Survive®
Safe water is a core part of every MHOA-run summer camp experience. With Mahogany Lake at the heart of our community, teaching children how to enjoy the water responsibly is just as important as fun, creativity, and adventure.
Throughout the summer, campers in both regular and specialty camps (excluding third-party or contractor-run programs) will automatically participate in daily training activities
Open-Water Swim to Survive®
(Note: This training is excluded from third-party or contractor-run programs).
THE OPEN-WATER SWIM TO SURVIVE® STANDARD
Led by certified instructors from the Lifesaving Society, campers will learn the necessary skills needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water:
ROLL: Roll into deep water to simulate a fall and orient to the surface.
TREAD: Tread water for one minute to support themself and locate nearest point of safety.
SWIM: Swim 50 metres and return to safety
This open-water program focuses on foundational skills that help children stay safe around lakes and outdoor swimming environments, including: open-water awareness, safe entry and exit techniques, treading water, floating for self-rescue, safe swimming practices.
As the weather permits, swimming activities are planned to take place daily so campers can regularly practice and reinforce these important skills.
SUPERVISION & SAFETY STANDARDS
While working directly with the Lifesaving Society, campers are closely supervised by certified instructors during all training activities. When not in formal instruction:
Children under 8 years must wear a lifejacket Children ages 8 to 12 years must wear a lifejacket unless a waiver has been signed by a parent or guardian. Campers remain in designated shallow areas.
Every camper stays of a camp leader at all times
Within Arm’s Reach
Our trained and dedicated camp leaders follow strict supervision ratios and protocols to ensure every child feels supported, confident, and secure while enjoying lake activities this summer.
