AOS = Add On Specialties

AOS programs are designed to provide the perks of specialty camps (e.g. Golf Camp, Soccer Camp, Sailing Camp, etc.) as an Add On Specialty to the Traditional PLYC Resident Camp Program.

8-10 hours of small group/individual AOS instruction.
2 hours of skill focused instruction each morning as the general camp population participates in 2 separate specialties during the same period of time.
AOS programs are not made available to the general camp population during the morning activity period.
Add On Specialties are led by qualified PLYC instructors & coaches.

Add On Specialties have age requirements for participation
The age requirements for AOS are set to allow for greater instruction of the small groups and individuals registered for the specialties.

Add On Specialties have limited space available.
Each AOS has capacities set for successful small group and individual instruction. For example, sailing is a program that will have a small capacity due to the number of sailboats in the PLYC fleet. The Skate Park Specialty is a program that requires camp transportation. The number of seats available for this program will determine program capacity. Capacities are set to ensure successful instruction.

Add On Specialty Low Enrollment/Cancellation Policy
In order for an AOS to be held, there is a minimum enrollment requirement, specific to each activity. If an AOS must be cancelled due to low enrollment, the enrolled participants will be notified. AOS charges will be refunded due to cancellation; however the general camp registration fee will remain with the understanding that the camper will attend the session.
