Providing a safe swimming experience is a top priority for summer camps across Pennsylvania. During the months of use, a weekly bacterial assessment is a Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) regulatory requirement for non-potable (i.e., swimming lakes, pools and spas). The testing must be done by a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) certified testing laboratory. Princeton Analytical Labs provides testing services to help camps confidently maintain the quality of swimming pools and recreational lakes, ensuring that water conditions meet health guidelines and support a safe environment for campers and staff throughout the summer season.

Princeton offers comprehensive camp swimming pool testing that verifies proper disinfection and water balance. Laboratory analysis goes beyond routine on-site checks to confirm critical water quality parameters are within recommended ranges, helping prevent waterborne illness, reduce eye and skin irritation, and protect pool infrastructure. Regular laboratory testing provides camps with clear documentation and peace of mind that their pool water is being managed effectively.

For lakes and natural swimming areas, our services focus on microbiological water quality testing to help camps monitor changing conditions driven by weather, runoff, and swimmer activity. Timely laboratory results allow camp operators to make informed decisions about swimming safety, respond quickly to elevated bacteria levels, and demonstrate a proactive approach to camper health and environmental responsibility.

By partnering with our experienced environmental laboratory, Pennsylvania summer camps gain a trusted resource dedicated to water safety, reliability, and responsive service. Our testing programs are designed to be simple, timely, and tailored to the unique needs of each camp—helping you focus on what matters most: providing a safe, fun, and memorable summer experience.
