YMCA camp

I've never been to a YMCA camp.

When I was young, I don't know if we lived near a Y. But we have just had a new one open up near us this past year, and many families are involved in the programs provided by the YMCA. There are several summer "away" camps sponsored by the Y in our area, Camp Pine Tree, Camp Cullen and Camp Hamman. They are divided based on age and activities. Kids as young as 5 can attend and two camps accept campers up to age 16. There are tons of activities to keep the kids busy. There are the usual arts and crafts, campfires and getting in tune with nature, but today's kids have some really great choices to make in their camp activities. There is horse back riding and canoeing, ropes courses, rock climbing, tubing, sailing, wake boarding and video editing just to name a few! These kids will get a lot of fun out of their two weeks at camp!

That I'd like to see.
