When kids experience the YMCA Day Camp, they experience something new every day like the power of a positive mentor, the confidence that comes from trying…and succeeding, and the importance of healthy, long-lasting friendships. Of course, they don’t know this. They just think they’re having a whole lot of fun.

Activities include devotions, arts, crafts, outdoor/indoor games, and field trips that are based on a weekly theme. Campers will also swim once or twice weekly at the Bedford Area Family YMCA indoor swimming pool. Drop off time is between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and all campers are to be picked up by 6:00 p.m. Campers must bring their lunch and the YMCA will provide a nutritious snack each afternoon.

REGISTRATION will be Saturday, April 12, 2008 at the Bedford Area Family YMCA. In order to register, parents MUST come to the Bedford Area Family YMCA between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. on that Saturday, April 12th. A registration form must be filled out to its entirety including two emergency contacts with their full addresses and phone numbers. Parents MUST bring a copy of their child’s birth certificate and their child’s school entrance physical and immunization records, signed by a physician, if their child has not attended the Bedford Area Family YMCA directed child care programs before. The Bedford Area Family YMCA has the right to refuse registration to anyone that does not provide all of the above information. After Saturday April 12, registration will be available at the Bedford Area Family YMCA front desk on Monday, April 14, 2008 after 8:00 a.m.
