GROUP VISITS

Camp, Team, Corporation, School: Visit with a Discount

There is a 50% non-refundable deposit required for all groups.  We do our best to accommodate all requests.  Please note that once you reserve a time for your group we do not resell that time to others so cancelling that time forfeits your deposit.

  3. Payment either upon arrival or a billing account set up at the time of booking for invoicing.

What to expect:

  1. Upon arrival your group leader will stop at the front desk to complete the group waiver form with roster and finalize pre-planned payment arrangements.
  2. A UVAC staff member will hand a wrist band out to all members of your group as they are guided upstairs into our bleacher area.
  3. An area will be reserved for your group to leave their belongings and also eat snacks/lunch.
  4. Bathrooms in the upper mezzanine level will be dedicated to your group to change into and out of their swim suits.

“Thank you again for hosting us today! The kids were SO excited, so happy, and so exhausted after such a fun afternoon of swimming. A few years ago when we visited, I reminded a kid to pack her suit & towel and she said to me, “ I KNOW. I’ve only been looking forward to this all week!” I appreciate UVAC’s openness to our group.” —With gratitude, The Haven”
