Outdoor Pools & Summer Fun: Why Redwood Day Camp is the Ultimate Swim Destination

When you envision the perfect summer for your child, you likely picture sun-drenched days filled with laughter, new friendships, and splashing water fun. At Redwood Country Day Camp, we've been bringing this vision to life since 1974, offering one of the most exciting outdoor camp pool programs in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec,  with a complete summer experience that balances adventure, safety, and learning.

The Heart of Summer Fun: Our Outdoor Pool Program

Our outdoor pools are a favorite for campers of all ages. Whether it's their first dip or their hundredth cannonball, the experience of our summer lessons is designed to be safe, engaging, and unforgettable. Redwood’s outdoor swimming pool is part of a larger, dynamic summer program that includes everything from rock climbing and team sports to arts and crafts, horseback riding, and fun camp games.

Each day, children have access to both structured instructor-led programs and free swim time. Whether they’re learning to float, perfecting their strokes, or enjoying water games with friends, they’re constantly supported by our trained, experienced pool staff. Campers are guided by trained staff who help them build swim confidence through age-appropriate lessons and fun water-based activities.

We also incorporate new summer lessons throughout the season to help campers grow at their own pace and build on their water skills week by week.

Safety & Supervision You Can Trust

At Redwood, camper safety is our top priority—especially around water. Our supervision requirements ensure every swimmer is always watched by qualified adults. We maintain appropriate supervision ratios, provide direct supervision, and always have certified lifeguard supervision present.

Each child, from nursery to grade seven, is grouped by age and ability to ensure they’re comfortable and confident in the water. Whether your child is in their first year of swimming or looking to improve their technique, we’ve created an environment where every child thrives. Our structured pool environment helps each child progress confidently. Our child-centered approach builds confidence and encourages participation at every level.

Our pool rules are clear and consistent, and we perform regular water-quality testing to maintain a balanced pool environment. You can trust our approach to safety, whether your child is at the entry into pool stage or confidently swimming laps.

Our supervision ratios are adjusted by age group to ensure your child gets personalized attention in the water.

Outdoor Pool Setup & Amenities

Our pool area includes a pool deck where campers can gather before or after swim sessions. The pool temperature and water temperature are monitored daily to ensure a comfortable experience for every camper. We use a sophisticated filter system to keep the pool water clarity and pool water quality at their best throughout the outdoor pool season.

We incorporate exciting features like pool floats and fun aquatic games to enhance the outdoor pool experience. Our camp’s natural setting makes it a refreshing and active environment that kids love. 

Every summer we add new games and water regattas in our weekly theme day events to make swimming at Redwood a favorite activity for everyone!
