Future Stars has exclusive use of the College pool during our swim hours.
Campers have a recreational swim every day for about 45 minutes. Rising Stars and youngest Multi-Sports campers will also receive instructional swim each day.
Pool safety is taken very seriously, and the pool staff is highly qualified and carries numerous accolades and certifications, including WSI, Lifeguard Management, Lifeguard, First-Aid, and CPR_AED for the Professional Rescuer. We are even a certified lifeguard training site. Our aquatics staff is second to none.
Every Monday, each new camper is swim tested to determine level and ability, with regular buddy checks taken by our pool staff.
In addition to the pool, we also host our 'Future Stars Water Park' with inflatable water slides for campers to enjoy.
Registered campers must bring their own lunch at the Nassau Community College site. Please pack lunch in a cooler-type bag, as there is no refrigeration for lunches.
There are plenty of filtered water fountains throughout campus, in addition to vending machines should your camper wish to purchase a drink during the day.
We are committed to being a 'nut-free' camp, so please make every effort to avoid packing foods that include nut products.
As part of the Future Stars Family, we want to be able to share as much as we can of all the fun and learning that is the Future Stars Experience.
Future Stars Social Media is a great way to view summer action shots and videos, as well as staying in the loop year-round for all things Future Stars.
