At the height of a balmy August day, a group of children cautiously inched toward the water at Graydon Pool, waiting for permission from their counselors to jump in. While this scene may seem typical of any summer day at the pool, for the children of Paterson’s CAMP YDP gathered on the park’s western beach, it was anything but.
Each year for four weeks in August, Graydon Pool and Ridgewood’s Citizens for Swimming host children from the North Paterson-based CAMP YDP, which stands for A Community Association with a Ministry to the People Youth Development Program. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, children from a variety of grade levels are accompanied to the pool by counselors and spend the afternoons enjoying Graydon alongside Ridgewood residents.
