SAFETY AROUND WATER SWIM LESSONSThe Safety Around Water (SAW) Program has helped thousands of kids learn personal safety in and around the water as well as increase their comfort level in the water through basic swimming skills, water games and activities. Campers will have an opportunity to participate in swimming and personal water safety lessons during each week of Camp. Additionally, campers will have opportunity for free swim at Rutherford Pool (975 Congress Street) each week. For more information about SAW and for additional swimming opportunities, contact our Aquatics Director, Becky Epstein, at 734-661-8020 or [email protected].

YMCA CAMP READERS AND THE BOOKMOBILEReading is a great way for children to foster imagination, creativity, and critical thinking skills. We also recognize that literacy and reading levels can drop off when kids are out of school. Because of this, silent and group reading is scheduled daily. The Ypsilanti District Library (YDL) Bookmobile will come to Camp weekly and campers who are Ypsilanti residents will have the opportunity to get a library card and check out books to take home with them. All campers will be enrolled in the YDL Summer Challenge reading program and have an opportunity to earn a book to keep. Contact the YCS Ypsilanti Day Camp Site Director, Alisa Littlejohn Leach at [email protected] if you would like to volunteer to read to campers.

BREAKFAST & LUNCHThanks to the support of our community partnership with Ypsilanti Community Schools, Summer Food Service Program will provide a healthy breakfast and lunch to all campers everyday! There are peanut-free and some vegetarian choices, but you may send your child with his/her own packed breakfast and lunch if you prefer. The Y will provide an afternoon snack.

HEALTHY EATING & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (HEPA)With the YMCA’s commitment to healthy living, we have adopted the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) standards to live by at Camp and in all our programs. There are five components to HEPA:

Beverages: Water is accessible and available at all times. Only low-fat or non-fat milk is served with meals.

Food: Provide fruits and vegetables at every meal and snack. Do not provide fried foods, food that contain trans-fat, or foods that have sugar listed in the first three ingredients or that contain more than eight grams of added sugar per serving.

Physical Activity: Children will receive moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 60 minutes per day and will get outside as often as possible.

Family Engagement: It is important to let families know what we are doing at Camp. We are providing weekly newsletters, both paper and electronic, and two Healthy Family Nights.

Screen Time: There will be no screen time (TV, movies, cell phones, video games, computer or any other digital devices) at YMCA programs.

If you have questions or want to learn more about HEPA standards, please talk to the Youth Community Program Director, Colette Hemker.
