YMCA Sets Summer Camps

Summer camp is an adventure that generates life-long memories. And since summer is right around the corner, now’s the time to enroll your children in YMCA’s Summer Day Camp.
Boys and girls six to 12 years old will enjoy the YMCA’s week-long day camps that provide an active week of indoor and outdoor activities that are a tremendous alternative to day care.
In addition to camp activities such as hiking, skits, songs, games and swimming, the YMCA integrates its character development values of caring, respect, honesty and responsibility into each facet of the program.
Camps run for 10 weeks from May 30 through August 4, Monday through Friday, 7 am to 6 pm. An early pick-up (4 pm) discount is available. The camp bus leaves Grove Lower Elementary each morning for area parks and returns in the afternoon.
Campers are asked to bring a sack lunch, swim suit, towel, sun screen and bug spray.
Throughout the 10 weeks, campers will enjoy day camp themes such as Summer Blast, Animal Planet, Sports, Art and the Great Outdoors. A parent/family program is featured weekly on Friday afternoons.
There is a one-time $25 registration fee regardless of how many weeks attended. Weekly fees are $75 per week ($60 for early pick-up) for YMCA members; $90 per week ($70 for early pick-up) for non-members. The family discount provides a discount of $10 per child per week if more than one child is registered.
Membership and program scholarships are available with the help of the annual Strong Kids campaign for low income or needy individuals or families.
