Mermaid Camp

Do you have a mermaid-obsessed child? Send them to Maplewood Recreation to learn to swim like a mermaid and to learn all about the sea. This camp, for ages 5 through 18, runs Aug. 7 through 11, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Campers must be able to pass MCP Deep Water Test. Mermaids will be fitted for a tail, which they will keep after camp ends. Admission to Mermaid Camp is charged.
