Located at 144 Tices Lane in East Brunswick, Raritan Valley YMCA’s Camp Yomeca is more than just day camp. It teaches life skills. Activities include daily swim lessons from professional instructors, CATCH program games which help kids become healthy and active for life, plus experiences in science, art, nature, and more. Kids go home with a smile … and confidence in their new abilities! At the Y, it’s a top priority to create an environment where everyone is welcome and safe. It’s a camp for everyone, where kids feel accepted and learn to accept others as well. Camp Yomeca is also convenient for parents. Though regular camp hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., campers can be dropped off as early as 7 a.m. or picked up as late as 6:30 p.m. (no extra charge!), with fun activities scheduled during the extended hours. The schedule includes 11 weeks, June 20 to Sept. 2. Campers pay for only the weeks they use, even if nonconsecutive. Onsite daycare and preschool is a great place for younger siblings. Camp details and open house schedule are available at www.raritanvalleyymca.org. (Next open house: Feb. 13, 10 a.m. to noon.) Call 732-257-4114 with questions.
