Summer Mermaid Art & Swim Camps 2023
For Kids Entering Grades 2-6
Did you know that some mermaids live in cold water?
And that means that many of them live way up north. This summer we're going to focus on the mermaids of Scandinavia- Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Pam has Scandinavian ancestors and took a trip there years ago. She loved the beautiful scenery, the strong people, and most of all- the fjords where many mermaids live. Nothing could be better for mermaids than fresh fish, mountain breezes, wide expanses of crystal clear water, viking boats sailing overhead, long summer days, the amazing Northern Lights and more!

WHAT ARE MERMAID CAMPS?
Camps are very small (5 kids + a mermaid camp assistant) and can be viewed more as an amazing creative retreat, rather than a large bustling camp. Pam's studio is cute, colorful and beautiful and perfect for children who benefit from having their own work-station in an orderly and calm space. Children will have a great time, and will end each day feeling refreshed, happy and delighted with what they've created and learned. Scroll down to see if they are right for you. Note- Children do not have to be residents of River Valley Ranch to go to the pool for this camp. They will go as Pam's guests.

A NOTE TO PARENTS ABOUT THE POOL:
Just like last summer, this summer we'll be going to the River Valley Ranch pool one day each week. Please note that Mermaid Camps are for kids who are comfortable in the water and have had some swimming instruction. RVR has a lifeguard and Pam will also be supervising but she will not be able to focus on just one child. Pam is an excellent swimmer and has taught kids' swimming and synchronized swimming classes. Your kids will be well-supervised, will have a great time, and will learn something too!
