Your daughter does not need to swim at camp. We always play near water but the children do not need to swim. If you would like to send along a flotation device we are happy to put it on your daughter. Puddle Jumpers are a nice way to go if you don't have a one already. Thank you! Kathy 650-400-3054 -

For the water activities, if we want our child to have a life jacket, do we need to provide our own? If there are any climbing activities, what kind of supervision/safety gears will be provided? (Hummingbird Adventurers (Cool Coyote Kids Camp))

We encourage parents to send a life jacket along with their child to camp. Children do climb on the play structures but we do not do any serious rock climbing. I’m always happy to chat with parents about camp. Feel free to call if you have more questions. Kathy, 650-400-3054 -

Hi, I was wondering if the kids will be requested to wear the mask all the time or how you comply with the COVID-19 policy. Thank you! (Hummingbird Adventurers (Cool Coyote Kids Camp))

Hi! Thank you for your question. Camp counselors and children will wear masks in the van and we will have sanitizer spray on hand to clean everyone's hands often. We will be using OCDMama hand and everything sanitizing spray. I've been using it for years and really like it! http://www.ocdmama.net When the children are outside playing we do not require them to wear their mask. We will have the children bring their own lunch and snacks instead of providing snacks. -

Is there concern for Water safety? My daughter is not a good swimmer. I worry about the bodies of water on these excursions. (Hummingbird Adventurers (Cool Coyote Kids Camp))
asked on Feb 19, 2020

Thank you for your question. We are very safe around the water. We do not let the children go into the ocean waves. We play around calm water and only let the children go wading. You are welcome to have your child wear a life jacket at camp if that would feel better for you. Thank you! Kathy -

Thank you Kathy! One more question - we can’t do the whole week as school starts. What will you guys do on Monday and Tuesday for the camp? Will Tue involve paddle boarding or kayaking? Thanks again
asked on Aug 05, 2022
Aug 05, 2022 - Kathy A Banks
We will paddle Monday and Tuesday. It depends on what the kids want to do as far as kayaking and paddle boarding. We also go for bike rides along the coastal trail. We usually go to the redwoods later in the week to take a break from the sun. We hike to the creek to catch crawdads and go swimming. -
