YMCA plans camp open house

HARDYSTON — The Sussex County YMCA invites families to get out of the cold this Sunday to focus on summer fun.

The Y will host an open house from 2-4 p.m., where families can explore the Y’s array of summer camps for kids.

From the traditional to the specialized, Sussex County Y camps build campers’ self-esteem, confidence and social skills in a fun, safe and enriching environment. Children from ages 3 through 15 develop independence and wellness awareness through developmentally appropriate activities and learning experiences.

Families can choose from Junior Y Camp, Kids Y Camp, Teen Y Camp and the Counselor-in Training Camp at the Hardyston location; Summer Y Sports Camps (basketball, tennis, soccer and lacrosse) at Walkill Valley Regional High School; and Junior Y Camp and Kids Y Camp at Hillside Park in Andover.

All Sussex County Y camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and reading time and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) lessons are incorporated into all curriculums.
