GREAT SUMMERS START HERE! We provide a happy, healthy environment for children to learn and grow. At YMCA Summer Day Camp, participants gain a sense of accomplishment, build relationships and find their sense of belonging. It s a opportunity for physical, social, emotional and cognitive learning experiences. For families, camp offers a peace of mind knowing that your child is in a safe and enriching place. We can t wait to see you at HAMDEN/NORTH HAVEN YMCA CAMP MOUNTAIN LAUREL! We ve planned an awesome, activity-packed summer with tons to learn, play and explore. The Best Summer Ever! As a leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of youth, the Y has been a leader in providing summer camp for over 130 years. The Central Connecticut Coast YMCA continues to give youth an enriching and safe experience. Our experienced and caring staff and volunteers model the positive core Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility that help build character. Everyone belongs at the Y. To ensure that all youth have the chance to experience summer camp, the Y offers financial assistance to those in need. Please talk with us to learn more. If you d like to help send a child to camp, you can donate easily on our web site or at our Y. OUR MISSION: To put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. CAMP MOUNTAIN LAUREL Camp Mountain Laurel is located on 2705 Downes Road in Hamden. Twenty acres of wooded space with an open shelter, outdoor swimming pool, archery station, gaga pit, ropes course and climbing wall. Dirt paths lead you easily to our Main Building where we have arts & crafts, a summer library for reading, bathrooms, changing rooms and the first aid office. In the morning you can hear the birds chirping and children laughing throughout the camp as the sun begins to peak through the leaves and you ll see the tallest trees ever amongst our new larger than life backyard game stations. Come explore nature s outdoor classroom with us! We offer a breadth of activities for campers ranging from 3-15 years old. No one sits still at Camp Mountain Laurel! A standard week at camp includes swim lessons followed by recreational swim, archery, weekly STEM activities, hiking, a game of foursquare, soccer or flag football; arts & crafts; quiet reading time, with a little down time to just hanging out with friends.

THE BEST SUMMER EVER, FOR EVERY AGE At the Y, we make kids feel welcome and supported. Our counselors are specially chosen using in-person interviews, reference checks and training. They are educators, recreation specialists, future teachers and local students with a genuine interest in working with children. Your children may already know them from other Y programs and after school care. At least eighty percent, are 18 years old and older. After receiving an average of 40 hours of training in safety, positive behavior management and activity planning, they are ready to help campers make new friends and do everything possible to ensure The Best Summer Ever. We focus on the Y s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, in all of our activities, from camper-chosen sessions, to swimming, to arts and crafts and games. We provide fun filled activities that allow for physical involvement, social interaction, educational opportunities, leadership building, personal growth and creativity. Join us for a week or for the entire summer of fun! Campers are divided into groups, by the grade level they ll enter in the fall, with activities appropriate to the interests and needs of each group. Camp is open to all children. The Y will work with children of all abilities. If your child requires special accommodations (social, behavioral, medical) please contact the Camp Director. The Y strives to provide each camper with an optimal summer experience but can not guarantee a specific counselor or camp group. Summer camp will not be in session on Thursday, July 4. Our weekly themes and field trips may change as detail plans are finalized. The Y has child care programs available from the day school ends until it begins again! Ask about Y Vacation Club, Y Fun Club, Before and After school programs. YMCA CAMP HI-ROCK We also offer an overnight camp experience, a home-away-from-home where campers will grow as individuals, learn to sail and water ski on a beautiful private lake in the Berkshires. Attend an info session at the Y or visit camphirock.org for more information.
