It’s the Best Summer Ever at Ridgewood YMCA’s Day Camp

The Y encourages parents to sign up kids for day camp beginning June 20.

Ridgewood NJ, This summer, the Ridgewood YMCA’s day camp program is offering kids the best summer ever through an enriching and learning experience to help kids get more out of the summer break – more learning, more exploration and more achievement. Through a mix of fun and educational activities aimed at improving well-being, kids will try new adventures, learn and master new skills, share and trade interests with friends, and get plenty of high-fives along the way.

Working with SEER Analytics to find out how camp benefits kids, the Y recently surveyed nearly 30,000 parents and caregivers with kids enrolled in camp at nearly 190 Y associations nationwide. Ninety-two percent of parents/caregivers said they agreed the Y’s day camp program helped kids make new friends. In addition, 83 percent said they agreed the program helped their kids discover what they can achieve, while 87 percent agreed their child felt a sense of belonging at their Y camp.

“At the Y, we know that when kids are given an opportunity to accomplish things, make friends and feel like they belong, they are comfortable expressing individuality and feel more confident, connected and supported,” says Gary Imhoff, Director of Marketing and Membership at the Ridgewood YMCA. “We are focusing on these youth development areas to ensure that kids in our day camp program go home with so much excitement for all they’ve accomplished and enjoyed that they can’t wait to come back the next day.”

The Y’s day camp activities focus on helping kids grow socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. These activities include team-building games, swim lessons, youth sports, creative projects and more.

As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, the Y offers so much more than a place to play and have fun. Through a holistic approach to youth development, the Y nurtures the potential of children and teens from birth to career to help them achieve in school and life. Through day camp and other youth development programs, the Y is working to keep kids active and address gaps in learning when school is not in session.

Ridgewood YMCA’s Summer Day Camp Program begins June 20 and registration is now open. Online registration is available at www.ridgewoodymca.org/camp.

To learn more about the Ridgewood YMCA’s day camp program, please contact John Duke atjduke@ridgewoodymca.org, phone 201.444.5600 x500 or visit www.ridgewoodymca.org/camp.

The Ridgewood YMCA is located at 112 Oak Street in Ridgewood.

summer camp graydon theridgewoodblog.net

 

This year’s camp will open for the 2011 summer season on Tuesday, June 28th and run for six weeks through Friday, August 5th. Children entering grades 1 through 6 will enjoy arts and crafts, organized games, swimming, special events and optional trips. Camp will be held at The Stable, Graydon Pool, Maple Park, Veteran’s Field, Leuning Park and the Community Center from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Children are to bring a bag lunch and beverage. Bus transportation is available to all.

Children will also engage in mind-boggling board games suited to make them sharper, more creative, and better their memory. One of these games is Scrabble, an age-old word game that is suitable for all ages whose history dates back more than a hundred years back. For those who want to be part of the game, internet connectivity will also be available, so parents can use unscramblex.com/scrabble-word-finder to help their children beat the scrabble game and come out on top against their opponents. With this experience and the help of this word-finder tool, you never know… your kids might as well come from the camp better in English grammar than you ever thought they’d get at the end of the 6-week period.

The day camp registration fee is $ 500.00 per child which includes two camp T-shirts and optional bus transportation. Trips are also optional with limited space; prices vary and registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. All campers must possess a 2011 Graydon Pool membership badge.

Registration will be accepted from April 1 through June 6, 2011 as space allows. You may register online at www.ridgewoodnj.net/communitypass (payment by credit card). For registration assistance or special needs please visit the Recreation Office, The Stable, 259 North Maple Avenue, or call the office at 201-670-5560.
