The 2023 summer was a great success! Check out some of the pictures from our camps:
The Bedford Area Family YMCA day campers are able to explore creativity, teamwork, and leadership with a wide range of physically active programs that influence lifelong healthy living. They have the opportunity to enjoy an outdoor environment where they develop an appreciation of nature. YMCA Day Camp offers children positive developmental experiences and encourages them to form relationships with each other and with staff, building confidence through skill-building activities suited to their age.
Today, Day Camp is more vital than ever, with an increased emphasis on child safety, summer learning traditions, values, and social skills.
Weekly activities are created based on the themes. FUN FRIDAY’S will tie the whole week together with SPECIAL activities that can include fun competitions, awards presentations, carnival games, at the Bedford YMCA.
The 2024 BAFY Kids’ Club Summer Day Camp will open May 21 and run through August 9 ages 5 to 12 years old. We are excited to offer offering care for those students who are enrolled in the Bedford County Public School Summer Extended Learning Program (summer school) as well! The students enrolled in the Summer Extended Learning Program will have the option of attending a 4 or 5 day week. For those few age 13 to 15 who are looking to fill their summer we have a Leaders in Training program (see below for details)! Camp hours are 7am to 6pm for the full day, Extended Learners will join after their school day has ended, and Leaders in Training can be for the full day or scheduled.
The Registration fee is $50 per child and is due with COMPLETED registration forms along with a copy of each child’s birth certificate, physical, and immunization record before registration will be accepted. Bedford Area Family YMCA memberships that cover the enrolled child have a discount.
