See Water Polo Camper Checklist.
Who is watching them at night in the dorms? Will someone walk them over after practice at night? How far is the pool from the Dorm?
Campers are supervised at all times by UC San Diego Water Polo Camp Staff. The ratio is 8 campers to 1 staff member. Each room will be assigned a staff member to monitor during non-water polo activities. A staff member will be supervising the campers to and from all practices. The distance from the dorm to the pool is less than a 8 minute walk.
