Spring has sprung, and summer is following closely behind. That means it's time to start thinking about what you'll do with the kids this summer. Open registration for YMCA of Snohomish County Summer Camp began Wednesday, March 25. Camps are offered through all five YMCA family branches: Everett, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mukilteo and in the Stanwood-Camano community.
A wide range of summer programs are available for campers ranging in age from preschool through high school. - Preschool/Kindergarten camp focuses on educational enrichment and social skills.
- The YMCA offers full-day licensed enrichment programming and care for school-age children during summer months. Activities include crafts, games, sports, swimming and weekly field trips.
- A variety of mini camps provide younger campers with social interaction, hands-on activities, exploration and fun.
- Sky-Y camp provides campers an outdoor day-camp experience held at Hole in the Sky Park.
- The Y partners with experts to provide a number of exciting specialty camps: art, theatre, jump rope, cooking, science and magic.
- Other specialty camps include horseback riding, skateboarding, and sports camps.
- Always a favorite, at Venture (formerly Teen Xtreme) camp, teens will join friends and ride, slide, explore and climb their way through summer.
- Xtreme Adventures overnight camping trips provide a week of fun with opportunities for hiking, river rafting, surfing, horseback riding and outdoor camping.
