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.

What to expect:

“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”
