A Phone Call

We want you to have a great camp or retreat. About one week prior to your reserved date you will receive a call from a staff member.  Please make us aware of anything we can do to make your stay a success and accomplish your goals.

Swimming Pool hours

Daily pool hours are 12:00 noon to 6:00 PM. Before arrival at Daybreak please decide the hours that you would like to use the pool. Simply email Daybreak at info@daybreakcamp.org with the hours.

This life guard must have a current Lifeguard certificate and advanced CPR. BRING COPIES OF YOUR LIFEGUARD’S CERTIFICATES TO PUT IN YOUR FILE AT CAMP.
