Camper Forms & Questionnaires
For a smooth camp experience we ask to have forms completed for your campers at the time of registration. For those few who need it we are able to provide a paper copy to assist with registration. Having forms in advance gives us plenty of time to review them and makes checking in much smoother and easier for everyone involved.
We would prefer all camper paperwork to be completed electronically, however if you need to use the paper forms you can scan and email (to registrar@ymcanwnc.org) or fax (336 983 4624) or mail them (1225 Camp Hanes Road, King NC 27021). Please be sure all forms are received in the office at least a month prior before your camper’s session begins.

Swim Assessment
The first time a participant visits the pool they are asked to take a swim test. Participants may not re-test in the same week but may be able to retest for a higher band in later sessions of the summer*
The swim test consists of:
- Jumping into the pool at the 6ft end.
- Swimming to the shallow end then back to the deep end. Preferably on their stomach with their head near the surface.
- Pulling themselves out of the pool without the use of a ladder.
- Jumping back into the deep end of the pool and treading water for 30 seconds with their head above water.
Participants are not forced to take the swim test. If a participant does not feel comfortable taking the swim test and opts not to, they will receive a red band. If the bottom of their chin is 4.5 feet tall, they automatically receive a yellow band; this height is marked by a piece of tape at the pool. Their chin must be above this piece of tape to qualify for a yellow band.
b. Once participants have finished their swim test, their swimming ability is identified by a colored swim-band. These swim-bands are to be worn every time a camper enters the pool and are to be returned at the end of each pool session.
- A GREEN band is given to those who complete the entire swim test without assistance. They may use the entire area of the pool without a life jacket.
- A YELLOW band is given to those who are able to complete the swimming portion of the test, but, are unable to pull themselves out of the pool without using the wall. If they cannot tread water for 30 seconds they receive a yellow band. If they choose to go into the deep end of the pool, marked by the lane lines, they must wear a life jacket.
- A RED band is given to those who are unable to complete the swim test, complete it with assistance, or those the lifeguards on duty feel are not a strong enough swimmer. They may use the entire area of the pool only while wearing a life jacket.
All campers and staff, regardless of swimming level, must wear a life jacket when participating in lake activities, except for the water zip line due to using different equipment.
*If a camper attends multiple session in a summer they are allowed to retake at the beginning of the next session or keep the swim band level that they have already achieved for that summer season.
