SPORTS day camp

Lussier Family East YMCA

 

Get In The Game!

YMCA sports camp is offered for children who want to develop skills and techniques, while learning the value of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. Each week will include drills, skill development, learning the rules of the game and actual play, all while reinforcing the core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. Participants are encouraged to bring healthy lunches and snacks daily. Explore new things with weekly field trips!

9:15 - 3:45 pm After opening ceremony, campers will start their days activities centered around the weeks theme. One to two times a week, your camper will cool off while swimming. Times and days differ by site. We designate some time for our campers to take a break and enjoy some quiet cool-down time. Campers can read a book as part of our "Camp Readers" program, play board games, take on an art project or participate in spirit-mind-body talks.

4:30 - 6:00 pm Following the Closing Ceremony, a wide range of camper choice activities are set up offering different choices for different ages. Campers have time to catch up with each other and play games before they are picked up, head home, and are ready to return for another great day!
