Camp Gan Campers are bused off-site three times a week to go swimming. All swimming is supervised by certified lifeguards. 

Campers will be swiming at Morse Pond in Wellsley. 

Morses Pond Beach
Turner Rd, Wellesley, MA 02482

As per State law called "Christian's Law"; All "non swimmers" need to purchase & wear a type 3 coast guard approved personal floatation device. "Non-Swimmers" are classified as those who do not meet criteria for a Red Cross Level 3 swim rating - which is: Jump into deep water from the side, swim front crawl for 15 yards, maintain position by treading or floating for 30 seconds and swim elementary backstroke for 15 yards.   

Parents will need to provide a type 3 coast guard approved personal floatation device, such as  this to be used at Morse Pond.

In an effort to use the time at camp most efficiently, we are encouraging  you to send your children in their bathing suits daily. We strongly recommend 2 piece bathing suits for the girls. Please make sure to include a full change of clothing (with underwear) in your child's backpack for after water/swim time.

On water activity & pond days we go of-site in bathing suits, water shoes & with our towels. We get changed back at camp. 

Please note- campers wear their camp t-shirts in the pond and on the field trips at all times- please pack an additional dry shirt for them to change back into.
