Northfield Area Family YMCA Summer Camp — Let the fun begin!
SUMMER CAMP NEWS
Hello, families:
We hope you will give YMCA
camps a try this summer! Our
outdoor programs are growing
quickly and feedback continues
to be extremely strong. Are
you looking for reasons to have
your child try a YMCA camp?
How about these?
•Exploring and learning
about nature
•Fostering an interest in
our environment
• Playing outdoors!
•Youth mentoring and
strong adult role modeling
• Core value building
Parents in our community
understand the many benefits
of having their kids play
outside more. YMCA camps
promote good health through
outdoor physical activities in
a cooperative, safe setting.
Kids have the opportunity to
connect with others through
organized play as well as free
time to explore and learn more
about nature.
We look forward to our summer
programs being based out of
the new YMCA facility in the
very near future. All the hard
work from so many community
volunteers is paying off.
Fundraising continues as we
build our own Y community
center. Construction is under
way, so look for updates
on facility progress.
For now, we’ll see
you at the Y
this summer!
Regards,
Virginia Kaczmarek
Executive Director
Prairie and Wood
(Ages 5–12)
This program is a 5-day-a-week, half-day nature camp based at Carleton’s Farm House. This
program is a collaboration with Carleton College, which gives us daily access to the rich resources
of the Cowling Arboretum.
Camp activities include exploring nearby prairie, woodland, bog, marsh, ponds, lake and river
ecosystems; learning about rocks, trees, plants and animals; creating
environmental arts and crafts; conducting experiments; and taking
weekly trips to various nearby nature areas. Come one week or come
all summer. Each week is unique, educational and tons of fun!
Low 1:5 staff to youth ratios for extra educational opportunities
and fun.
