Location: All camps take place at Moorhead Rec Center.
Fundraiser option:
During each of our break camps, we will be holding a fundraiser for our scholarship fund. If you choose the fundraiser option, you will pay a reduced rate for the day of camp and commit to raising $200 for our scholarship program through Hope Floats.
*Please note, if you sign up for the fundraiser and multiple camp days, the reduced tuition will only apply on the swim-a-thon day. I.e., if you sign up for both days of Thanksgiving break, you will pay the reduced fee of $50 for swim-a-thon day, and $120 for the second day of camp for a total of $170.
