Onsite Check-In

The club director or designated staff will check in at the front desk at the Drayson Center SECC Youth Ministries registration table located in the lobby to confirm attendees.

Schedule

An email confirmation will be sent with the chosen time for the club’s check-off. If the clubs appointed time needs to be changed, contact the Youth Ministries office. Clubs should arrive 15 minutes before the appointed time. The check-off takes approximately 30 minutes. Attendees should already have their swimsuits on.

Swimsuits

  • Males – modest swim trunks
  • Females – modest one-piece swimsuit or tankini (a tankini is a two-piece suit with a tank top and swim bottoms); top must cover mid-section and bottoms must be full coverage; boy/board shorts are acceptable. Colored, not white, t-shirts can be worn.

Requirements

A WSI (water safety instructor) will have the teens and staff go through a series of swimming skills. Review the requirement sheet. These requirements must be completed to be allowed in the canoes, rafts, and on the water for the Pathfinder Teen FLOW River Trip. This can also be done through your local Red Cross or YMCA. Once you have passed the requirements, you do not need to do it again. It’s just like earning an honor. A copy of the certification must be filed and maintained at the SECC Youth Ministries office.
