It’s not summer quite yet, but lately the weather sure feels like it.
According to Tyrone Area YMCA Camp Sun-N-Fun director Linda Klesius, enrollment at camp is already up this year, due to the warm weather.
Camp Sun-N-Fun is currently held at the Bellwood-Antis Community Pool.
Participants enjoy various activities and games which include: swim lessons taught by trained instructors, free swim time, sand activities, arts and crafts, sports, nature and much more.
Every week at camp is geared toward a specific theme, and the grand finale of an already exciting program is that every Friday there is a field trip to various places throughout the area.
It’s hard to believe, but a week of summer camp has already passed by. For those who don’t want to miss out on a fun summer experience, a full listing of future dates and field trips are as follows: week two, through June 18, Legion Park and bowling at Holiday Bowl; week three, June 21-25, Shavers Creek; week four, June 28 – July 2, trip to the movies; week five, July 5-9, Galactic Ice and week six, July 12-16, Lakemont Park.
Also, week seven, July 19-23, Morrison’s Cove (bowling, skating and swimming); week eight, July 26-30, Lincoln Caverns; week nine, August 2-6, YMCA Day at DelGrosso’s Amusement Park (rides) and week ten, August 9-13, DelGrosso’s Water Park.
Pricing for day camp (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) is $59 for members and $81 for non-members per week. Camp and extended hours (up to 10 hours a day) is $81 for members and $109 for non-members per week. Children may sign up for a week or for multiple weeks.
For those who are interested in extended care, drop-off and pick-up is at the Tyrone Area YMCA, and those just taking part in the base camp hours may drop-off at either the YMCA or the Bellwood-Antis Community Pool.
A family discount of 20 percent off the cost of each child’s registration will be granted after the first child is enrolled. There is a one time cost of $7 for a camp T-shirt. The shirt must be worn on all field trips.
