Hillsborough Family YMCA Camp - A Smart Choice for Summer Camp

Release Date: May 29, 2011

Hillsborough Family YMCA Camp - where traditions meet new concepts to build valuable experiences!

 

Fun, new programs, familiar favorites and the best counselors around make the Hillsborough Family YMCA a smart choice for summer camp.

 

If you remember summer camp at the Y as a place to explore nature, have exciting outdoor adventures, swim and have fun with friends, it still is. But,  it's also a lot more. 

 

Camp at the Y combines exciting outdoor adventures, swim and fun with friends, and activities and games to instill traditional values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.  New and exciting camps have been added to Y camp favorites to make your child's summer a unique, educational, and valuable experience.

 

Gaining new experiences and making new friends are two benefits of participating in the Hillsborough Family YMCA summer camp. Campers will learn how to be responsible, resourceful individuals through games that promote teamwork and problem solving.  Activities are structured to provide opportunities to coach children to make decisions that will help them grow as individuals, all while having fun.  We take pride in our counselors and the fact that many counselors had their first experience with us as campers and choose to come back as counselors.   

 

"Great camp counselors are the backbone of great summer camps, says Hillsborough Family YMCA Youth & Family Director, Jim Vaccarella.  "They keep our campers safe, provide many learning experiences and ensure they have a great time at all our camps. 

 

Every year camps may change, but our counselors remain committed to building positive relationships with the campers in their care."

 

As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y works to help children and teens discover their full potential by providing opportunities to learn and grow. 

 

Summer will be here before you know it and some camps are almost at capacity. Register today!!  To see a camp brochure, visit www.ymcasomersetvalley.org or call Jim at 908 369-0490 ext. 616.
