The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Water Sports, Kayak Obstacles & Shaded Waterfront Pavilions in Monroe. Designed for Ages 4 to 15. The lakeside & waterfront programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Lifeguard staffing at Beaver Creek Aquatics Camp looked adequate on the schedule but thin in practice when we counted heads at the pool deck.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:6 (Grades 1-3), 1:8 (Grades 4+). The advertised 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K) ratio held up in some bunks and clearly didn't in others during our visit. (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Beaver Creek Aquatics Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1270 – $1520 / week
👍 What We Loved
- Campus has decent shade coverage, which matters more than it sounds (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
- Tuition ($1270 – $1520 / week) is more reasonable than comparable camps in Monroe
- When the 1:4 (Nursery/Pre-K) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
⚠️ What to Consider
- Carline and pickup logistics were disorganized during at least one visit (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
- lakeside & waterfront instruction quality varied noticeably week to week
- Facilities show uneven upkeep — some areas well-maintained, others neglected (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
- Staff turnover mid-summer disrupted bunk continuity for several families (per our Monroe visit, est. 2013)
