For over 160 years, the Y has been committed to preparing our children for the future, and we are as determined as ever to continue along that path. I cannot tell you how many children come through the doors of the Y, for either childcare or summer camp, and improve academically and socially as a direct result of their Y experience. We take great pride in nurturing the future of our children through programs that reinforce and extend opportunities to learn. The Y s summer camps are structured to prevent childhood summer learning loss, which many children experience following the end of an academic school year. Our camp programs promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), physical activity and are a place where children can be creative: they learn while having fun in the Y s structured camp environment. Y camps foster a child s mind, body and spirit in accordance with the Y s fundamental mission and responsibilities to the communities we serve. Our counselors are thoroughly screened, trained in CPR/First Aid, emergency preparedness and other safety measures. Beyond that, our counselors are prepared to give your child an enriched learning experience that they will not only enjoy, but also benefit from for the rest of their lives, both academically and socially. Whether it is the fun of singing camp songs, swimming, taking nature walks, participating in various sports, or the intellectual challenges of our STEAM-focused programs, the Y s counselors guide our campers in developing new interests, friends, and independence. As one of the Washington area s leading nonprofits with a focus on youth development, the Y knows the importance of nurturing every child so that they can meet their fullest potential. Our summer camp programs are designed with this idea in mind to make sure that the children we serve are prepared to succeed for years to come. Give your child a positive adventure and lasting education this summer by enrolling them in Y summer camps. It will be a healthy, fun and supportive learning experience from which they will not only benefit in several ways, but also want to return to again and again.

CAMP LETTS CAMP LETTS FOR OVER 100 YEARS, CAMP LETTS HAS BEEN THE SUMMER PLAYGROUND FOR CAMPERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. EACH DAY AT CAMP YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SOMETHING NEW: A NEW ACTIVITY, A NEW FRIEND, A NEW CHALLENGE. WHATEVER IT IS, WE KNOW THAT EACH NEW THING YOU DISCOVER WILL BE MORE EXCITING THAN YESTERDAY S. HOW DO WE KNOW? BECAUSE EVERY YEAR HUNDREDS OF CAMPERS TELL US THAT THEY DISCOVERED SOMETHING NEW AND CREATED GREAT MEMORIES AT CAMP LETTS. 1.866.963.6000 1.410.919.1410 www.campletts.org OVERNIGHT CAMP AGES 6-16 At Camp Letts we have 3 goals for every camper: try something new, make a new friend, and have fun! We believe if a camper can do the first two, having fun is guaranteed. ACTIVITIES FAIR Overnight Camp starts on Sunday between 1:00pm and 3:00pm. During your first evening, you will attend the Activities Fair. Here, you will choose the activities that will become your morning schedule for the rest of the week. MEALS Have you seen anyone join The Order of the Oar? Have you ever eaten hands-free cake on Super Hero Monday? Or nearly forgotten to eat* because lunch time suddenly became an impromptu dance party? It s almost impossible to describe the noise and fun of meal times. Three times a day, your cabin will shout and sing as you try to outperform your rival cabins, all of whom are competing for extra points towards the Crew Cup, all while eating food that seems too good to be camp food. Many meals have themes so make sure you pack something pink, a pair of knee high socks, and a tie-dye t-shirt. *Don t worry, our staff will make sure you don t forget to eat! MORNING ACTIVITIES Your three morning activities are your chance to acquire and master a new skill. So try not to choose something you do every day; pick something different and you might discover a talent you never knew you had. Programs are instructed by our diverse staff. Selected from all over the world for their experience and expertise, they will help you learn, grow and have the time of your life. In fact our great staff is the reason many campers come back year after year. AFTERNOON CABIN AND CREW ACTIVITIES The afternoons are your chance to explore all that camp has to offer. After Siesta, you will go to activity period 4. Every day you will be able to do something different. The rest of the afternoon is spent in Cabin and Crew activities. You will meet back up with your cabin and catch up on your morning activities before doing activities together as a group. Only time and imagination limit what you and your bunkmates can achieve. It might be jewelry making in arts and crafts, kayaking on the river, building shelters in the woods or exploring Monster Island. The afternoon s activities at Camp are designed to be fun and recreational, and an opportunity to get to know your bunkmates. TRY OUT OVERNIGHT CAMP AGES 6-8 Specially designed for first time campers, this two night, three day stay at camp is a great way to explore all of the fun we have to offer. Let your counselors take you and your bunk-mates on a tour of just about everything we do. Canoe, kayak or sail the Rhode River, try a pony ride, learn a new sport and design a masterpiece in Arts and Crafts. We ll take you sea-sledding, for a polar bear plunge at the pool, teach you campfire songs, reveal the secret of making the perfect s more; all this while you make great new friends! CAMP LETTS EVENING ACTIVITY When the sun starts to set, Camp comes alive. We hold a camp-wide activity or game each night, which ties in to the weekly theme. It also uses as many parts of camp as we can, so you really get a chance to explore. Evening games help your crew earn points towards the Crew Cup. CAMP LETTS CAMPS ALSO INCLUDE: Equestrian Sailing Canoeing and Kayaking Water Skiing Zip Line Paintball Archery High Adventures And much more! 26 SUMMER CAMP 2017 YMCA of Metropolitan Washington 1.800.473.YMCA ymcadc.org 703.742.8800 YMCA FAIRFAX COUNTY RESTON 27
