YMCA CAMP CAMPBELL
TRADITIONAL OVERNIGHT CAMP
OUR PROGRAM
Our two-week program emphasizes growth and strengthening
character values in all campers. Throughout the program,
campers learn more about themselves and how to work together
as a cabin group. Whether it is playing an all-camp game,
learning new skills in an activity session, eating dinner in the
dining lodge, or dressing up for our Wacky Tacky Tuesdays,
campers form meaningful relationships, try new things, and have
tons of fun.
Camp is full of traditional outdoor activities like campfires,
hikes, skits and songs, cabin cheers and the chance to sleep
under the stars. Over two weeks, campers disconnect from
the technology and distractions of outside life. Here at camp,
our number one priority is providing a safe, positive camper
experience. We believe that campers are most successful when
given the opportunity to push themselves out of their comfort
zones and discover in themselves resiliency, responsibility and
confidence.

spending time together as a cabin. In cabins, campers of similar
ages live together and learn to make lasting friendships. Campers
develop camaraderie with their cabin mates and counselors as

adult role models that help campers take responsibility for
themselves and others, work together to solve problems, and
have fun at camp.

century. Our swim instructors are trained and certified to teach
lessons for all ages and abilities. Learn to be safe around water
and feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning
something new. Progress at your own pace. We’ll introduce you
and your family to the fun of swimming and help you develop
lifelong skills. Pick up a swim lesson brochure and registration
form for more details on class schedules, levels and fees.
PARENT/CHILD LESSONS
Parent/Child swim lessons offer opportunities for parents to
bond with their little ones ages 6 months to 3 years old while
helping to teach water safety. Classes focus on safe water
exploration, proper holding and towing techniques and safe
water entry and exit, all with instructor-led songs and games.
Swim diapers are required for all children under 3 years.
HOW TO REGISTER
Complete the Swim Lesson registration form (available at our
Front Desk) and submit with payment. Checks and credit cards
will be accepted at registration. Facility members can sign up

specific questions call our Aquatics Director at 408 608 6838.
PRESCHOOL LESSONS
GATOR SWIM TEAM
Preschool swim lessons are designed for children ages 3–5.
The goal of this program is to teach children to become
accustomed to the water and learn basic water safety.
If you want to take your passion for swimming to the next
level, join the Southwest YMCA Gator Swim Team. The Gator
Swim Team is open to youth ages 6–17 who meet the minimum
requirements. Tryouts are required. We encourage current
swim lesson participants to join the Gator Swim Team after
completing at least one session of the advanced youth level.
YOUTH LESSONS
Youth swim lessons teach children ages 6–14 stroke techniques,
build endurance, and develop water safety techniques.
Our instructor-to-student ratios are 1:5 for
Parent/Child and Preschool classes and 1:8 for
Youth and Adult classes.
Minimum requirements
Must be able to swim at least 50 yards of freestyle (with side
breathing), backstroke, and breaststroke, and at least 25 yards
of the butterfly stroke.
Tryout process
Come to either the Tuesday or Thursday Gator Swim Team
practice (see the Aquatic Schedule) and talk to one of the

ADULT AQUATICS/SWIM LESSONS
WATER ACTIVITIES
ADULT SWIM LESSONS
The Y has been America’s leading swim instructor for more
than 100 years. We provide recreational, competitive and
specialty water activities for all ages and abilities, including
parent-child classes, water exercise and therapy, and water
safety and rescue.
Adult Beginner/Intermediate
Youth and adults gain a sense of self-esteem when they learn to
swim or improve aquatic skills. Water is a relaxing environment
for effective exercise, physical therapy, skill development, and
stress release, as well as family fun.
Our lifeguards are scheduled during pool hours to enforce
facility rules, prevent accidents, handle emergency situations,
and ensure your safety.
POOL
Our year-round indoor pool is one of the main attractions
for our members. The pool is 25 yards long, with five lanes
(approximately 35 feet wide). It is kept at a comfortable
temperature to accommodate all members participating in a
variety of programs. The pool depth ranges from 3½ feet to
4½ feet. Be sure to read and follow pool guidelines and to
shower before entering the water.
It’s never too late to learn how to swim. If you have a fear
of the water or simply never learned the fundamentals, our
3½- to 4½-foot indoor lap pool is a great place to begin.
We offer a supportive class environment with an emphasis
on skill development, safety and form.
WATER FITNESS CLASSES
Have fun while exercising in the water. We have programs to
fit every fitness level. Use the water as intensity resistance to
increase your cardiovascular strength, endurance, flexibility and
muscle tone. Choose your own intensity of exercise in the water.
Classes are available for ages 11 and older.
Aqua Fitness I
Aqua Fitness I includes exercises using the water as resistance
to increase flexibility and cardiovascular strength.

MEDICAL RELEASE
This health history is correct, so far as I know, and the person herein has permission to engage in all prescribed program activities. I assume that the YMCA of
Silicon Valley assumes no financial obligation for such treatment but, in the event that I cannot be reached for an emergency, I hereby give permission to the
physician selected by the YMCA to order X-rays, routine tests, and secure proper treatment, hospitalize, and to order injections/and/or anesthesia and/or surgery
and emergency treatment for my child as named on this form. All immunizations required for school are up to date unless I have signed that I do not immunize my child.
I agree to and understand the following guidelines: Participants agree to abide by the rules and regulations set by the YMCA for the health, safety, and
welfare of all children. Children are not allowed to smoke, chew tobacco, possess any smoking materials, alcohol, illegal drugs, firecrackers or explosives, weapons,
use lewd conduct, and inappropriate touching of any kind. Willful destruction of property will be the financial responsibility of the child’s parent. Children may not
leave the property or established boundaries without YMCA staff permission.
YMCA of Silicon Valley reserves the right and will send anyone home (at parents’/guardians’ expense and liability) who violates these rules. It is the responsibility
of the parent/guardian to pick up or arrange transportation home for the child. The Program Director reserves the right to determine what constitutes a violation
of these rules and will enforce them as necessary.
Parent’s/guardian’s signature is required on the Photo Release, Medical Release and agreement to follow YMCA policies and guidelines in order for your child to
participate in the YMCA program.
