SafeSplash is aimed at making kids into lifelong swimmers, and their programs are aimed at consistent training that builds a child’s skill and confidence. To that end, SafeSplash offers swim camps over the course of the summer, consisting of one week, three day groups of lessons. The classes meet over three consecutive days, with two students to each teacher, and are designed help jump start the students’ development. Whether your child is just getting started or an advanced swimmer, SafeSplash has lessons they will find valuable. And if they’re really advanced, SafeSplash offers Stroke Clinics specifically for advanced swimmers, too.

Energize your kid’s creativity and confidence with our new Camp Invention® program, Recharge! When this nationally acclaimed program returns to the Toledo area, campers in grades K-6 will collaborate with friends in hands-on, open-ended STEM challenges. They’ll take apart a microphone to explore its inner workings, build and test a device to launch rubber ducks, and design morphing vehicles for the Super Road Rally! Each activity is designed to inspire curiosity, spark imaginations and give your young innovator the best summer ever. Visit invent.org/local to secure your spot and save!
Given the challenges presented by the pandemic, we are planning to run the 2021 Camp Invention program in person and virtually, so you can choose the format that works best for your child. Even better, you have the option to change your format selection up to six weeks before the program start date.
