YMCA Snorkel & Scuba Camp
Ages 8 - 12 - in the
pool
For the past 5 years Seattle Scuba has partnered with various branches of the Seattle YMCA to offer weeklong
snorkel and scuba camp programs. Participants spend the morning in the pool learning the basics of snorkeling and scuba diving,
in the afternoon they participate in other activities under the supervision of the YMCA staff.
Of the first day
of camp all participants will spend the pool time practicing snorkeling techniques and playing games that encourage water
comfort and safety. On the second day an introduction to scuba is completed, and everyone has a chance to try diving in the
shallows. On subsequent days kids alternate time on scuba and snorkeling while learning some of the basic scuba skills and
having a really fun time! The scuba portion of this program typically corresponds to Aquamissions 1 - 3, for kids who return
for a second year Aquamissions 4 & 5 are typically completed.
In 2010 we will be conducting two weeklong
half day programs with the Seattle YMCA.
July 12 - 18 with the Northshore YMCA
July 26 - 30 with the
Shoreline (Dale Turner) YMCA
August 2 - 6 with the U-District YMCA
Please
