PARKWOOD YMCA The Parkwood YMCA summer camp provides a variety of opportunities to ensure that youth are learning and being physically active during the summer. Campers learn how to be responsible and resourceful, work in groups, solve problems and make decisions that will help them grow as individuals-all while having fun and feeling like they belong. In addition, studies show that children can experience learning loss during the summer months. The Parkwood YMCA is offering themed sports & specialty camps each week that will also include activities such as arts/crafts, movement activities, games, swimming, field trips, science projects, reading, word games and more. We want every camper to start school telling their friends that they had the best summer ever! Hours of Operation Parkwood YMCA Branch sports, specialty & aquatics camps run from 9:30am to 4:00pm. Camp Hugabee Preschool Camp runs 8:30am 5:30pm. Camp PaWaPi runs 9am-4:30pm. All camps run Monday-Friday (with the exception of the week of 4th of July). Extended Care Extended care is available for all summer camps except for Camp Hugabee. Extended care hours are from 7:30am to the start of camp and from the end of camp to 6:00pm. You can drop off or pick up your child any time during the extended care hours. The fee is $40 per week per child and must be paid at time of registration. Age Appropriate Activities All summer camp programs have been designed with your child in mind. Campers are grouped with those of similar ages and participate in activities that are appropriate for their age group. Financial Assistance Camp scholarships for camps are available for those who qualify. We want every kid to have the opportunity to experience camp! For information or to apply please contact: Lynne Fortune 517.827.9680 or lfortune@ymcaoflansing.org Swimming Information For the safety of all, campers are required to pass a swim test. The test consists of a 25 yard swim (½ on back, ½ on front) and then a 30 second water tread test. Any camper unable to pass the test will be wearing a red band indicating they are only allowed in the shallow end. For those that pass, they will be assigned a green band. In addition, any camper under 48 tall will be required to wear a lifejacket, provided by the YMCA. Swim tests will occur each Monday. Camper Expectations Campers are expected to treat others in a respectful manner. Actions deemed physically or emotionally harmful to oneself or another camper are subject to immediate dismissal. This includes inappropriate or aggressive physical contact and repeated hurtful words. Campers should all have the opportunity to grow personally, develop a positive self image, learn to appreciate diversity, feel safe, feel accepted and have FUN. Safe Environment Parents trust us with their most precious possession, their children, and we take that very seriously. Staff members are trained in safety procedures for each activity, risk management principles and child abuse detection and prevention strategies.
