It will include activities that young people might experience in their future, such as scuba, water rescue, law enforcement academy drills and safety demonstrations.
Lunch will be provided at the day camp. Participants must have an appropriate swimsuit with them.
Applications are being accepted until May 11. Cost is $25 per child, but several scholarships are available for those who need assistance.
