Swimming at Dream Camp Trinity

For many kids, summer isn’t summer without splash contests and cannonballs. Swimming is also a life-saving skill. But, swimming is a luxury most Dream Camp students do not have access to in their everyday life. Our swim program not only teaches kids how to swim but also focuses on developing essential soft skills such as embracing new challenges, overcoming fears, nurturing inner confidence, and fostering peer support, all within the enjoyable environment of the pool.
