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?”

Testimonial

This is the first year of Fun in the Sun for our kids – it came highly recommended as an affordable camp where kids can just relax, make new friends, and play! Their school year is so structured and it’s wonderful that Fun in the Sun provides an opportunity for a different kind of growth.

I’ve noticed how happy Grant and Sydney are to get up and get ready for camp in the morning (this is no small feat!) so in addition to their saying it, we know they love this camp.

Elisabeth Hadden
Mother of Grant & Sydney

Fun in the Sun reminds me of my best summer days from childhood. My boys play hard all day with good friends. They hang at the swimming pool. This is where they both learned to swim in fact. Getting their high dive bands is cause for celebration each June. At Fun in the Sun they feel free to play sports, make beautiful art, perform, and most importantly relax and enjoy just being kids. I trust the staff implicitly to put their safety first. Just as important I know they are appreciated and known and cared for as individuals. I cannot imagine a summer without Fun in the Sun and neither can my children.
