YMCA summer camp sign-ups underway

YMCA camp is a fun way to spend the summer; for parents, it’s an opportunity to give children a positive, character-building experience. For mothers and dads who work outside the home, a Y camp can also be a dynamic child care environment. Most day camp programs are planned for preschoolers through the primary grades.

Nationwide, day camps for young children are the YMCA’s most widely offered programs, but teen-oriented versions are quickly growing in popularity and availability. California YMCA’s offer a summer surf camp in conjunction with lifeguard and swim programs. The South YMCA Summer Day camps are ACA accredited and are for children ages 4-15. the camps offered include:

First Camp for ages 4 and 5.
Kinder Camp ages 5 and 6, (having completed kindergarten)
Day camp, Specialty Camp, Schools Out Camp and Express Camp       ages 6-9
Camp Survivor for ages 10-12
Leaders Camp for ages 13-15

Through swimming, singing, and nature hikes the YMCA camp counselors have helped children develop values, have fun, make friends, build skills and grow more self-reliant. Many camps use a natural, outdoor setting to teach participants about the wonderful world around them, and how they can take care of it now and in the future.

Enrollment begins April 9.  Limited space so enroll early!! Summer will be here before you know it. Brochures are available at the front desk or call 434-1964 and we will mail you one.
