Extension of discount
It has come to our attention that having Jan. 15th as our cut off day
for our 10% off special (when paying in full for 9 or more weeks)
is a bit too early due to all the holiday bills and expenses.
We thought about it and decided to change our
Fun in the Sun 2013 10% off SPECIAL* to February 15th.
10% off Registration MUST be sent in by
*We are running a special again this year of 10% discount
for those families who sign up their child(ren) for a minimum of 9 full weeks and pay in full for those 9 weeks no later than February 15th:
10% off 9 full weeks or more.

I wanted to share something special from 2 of our counselors:
* Danielle Green , long time camper as well as long time counselor made this video of our camp.
She did an amazing job. It totally illustrates what our camp is all about.
Danielle will be a freshman at American University starting in a few weeks.
She will be majoring in film.
Thank you Danielle! You totally Rock!!! — at Fun In The Sun Summer Camp.

* Zach Port, counselor for the 2nd year, organized a field day called “The Color Competition”.
He did this as his community service for his school grad project.
He will be a senior this coming school year at Wissahickon High School.
The competition took place last Wednesday. Each camper was assigned to one of the color teams”.
Following are some pictures of the event.

Words about Fun in the Sun from one of our campers who then became a counselor:
Comments on Fun in the Sun
Too often in summer camps, scheduled activities and pre-planned fun inhibits the very magic that summer camps hopes to inspire in children. Fun in the Sun not only encourages freedom for fun at Plymouth Swim Club, but also encourages freedom for imagination.
As both a camper and counselor, I’ve been at Fun in the Sun since 1994, only taking two years off to life guard at two other summer camps in the area. The jovial feelings that are invoked by the changing of the seasons from spring to summer always remind me of my imagination and child like innocence that I enjoyed during so many years at camp. As a life guard at these other summer camps, I saw structure and time sensitive activities stifle the natural innocence of summer. Fun in the Sun surrounds it’s campers with a diverse set of kids and puts them in an environment where the imagination can run wild.
I remember as a camper at Fun in the Sun spending endless hours in the pool living as Bulbasor (my favorite Pokemon at the time) as I explored the Pokemon world with Pikachu and Charmander. I wasn’t Bulbasor for just 50 minutes until my counselor told me it was time to do arts and crafts, I was Bulbasor until I decided that I wanted to be Volpix, a Pokeman that can harness the element of fire.
Fun in the Sun fosters the delightful and playful imagination that summer camp should be all about. It encourages parents to ask their child not “What did you do at camp today?” but rather, “How did Bulbasor fair against Team Rocket today?”

And we all had “Fun in the Sun”
Time has flown by and camp has come to a close. Where has the summer gone?
I was walking around the girl’s locker room on Thursday afternoon and saw some sad campers & counselors. I heard their conversations but stayed in the background: “I’m so bummed” “I Love Summer”… and so on…..and then one of the counselors (our dear Anna) said: “Don’t think about it being over…think of all the good things that happened and how much fun you had”.
That stayed with me because I loved her perspective about something “good”, “happy”, “fun”. It’s a great way to look at our life’s funnest moments. Campers & counselors, Thank you for all those “fun” moments !
@Fun in the Sun 2011
Your wonderful children will be returning to school this week and the school year routine will begin.
We wanted to let you know that…We have enjoyed your children! We loved playing with them. We loved listening to their stories. We had so much fun….They are totally awesome!!!
Your children have done lots of swimming, in fact lots and lots of swimming. We had such wonderful weather all summer that we spent it at the pool mostly four days a week.
@Fun in the Sun 2011
On trip days the children have golfed (miniature), bowled, roller skated, Happy Tymed, climbed, saw a movie or two, bounced and climbed some more, got splashed with a big bucket full of water, went down water slides, sat on a tube, tied dyed, learned how to spend money in the snack bar….
@Fun in the Sun 2011
@Fun in the Sun 2011
They did sports… soccer, basketball, kickball, capture the flag…..etc, etc, etc.
@FunintheSun
But most of all they have played. Then they played more, and then they played even more. They met lots of new friends, connected with old friends, and played some more.They used their imagination and creativity, played games indoors and out, invented their own games, spent LOTS of time inside and outside in the mornings and making full use of the great 11 acres at the swim club in the afternoons.
