We are in the process of transitioning to an all-online registration with payment for Titan Swim Camp. I have tried to wait as long as possible but am unsure of when that build out will be completed by the college. In an effort to begin planning swim camp, please fill out the google form with your registration information. There will not be a deposit at this time.
We host two camps that run simultaneously during our resident camp weeks; Total Titan and Elite Camp.
We will do resident camp June 12-16 (week 1) and June 19-23 (week 2) and day camp June 27-30(week 3).
