WESTLAKE VILLAGE — Branches of the Southeast Ventura County YMCA are taking early registrations for their summer day camps. Camp is from June 13 through August 19 at the Yarrow Family YMCA and June 6 through August 5 at the Simi Valley Family YMCA. A travel camp will be held at the Conejo Valley YMCA. Discounted weekly rates for those who register early are in effect until March 1.
Campers can attend full-time (five days a week) or part-time (three days a week) for the entire camp session or selected weeks. YMCA summer camp is offered to TK to 5th graders with a Leadership-In-Training camp for 6th to 8th graders.
Onsite activities include sports, arts and crafts and in-person shows. Each week will focus on a different theme including space, Olympic sports, traveling back in time, Disney adventures and exploring the outdoors. Camp activities are based on age group.
Travel camp at the Conejo Valley YMCA is for campers entering grades 4 through 6 grades in the fall. Outings include trips to the beach, movies, parks, bowling, Magic Mountain, MB2 Raceway and Hurricane Harbor.
“Kids get a chance to be kids during Y camp,” says Jaime Gonzalez, Simi Valley Y director of childcare and day camp. “Every day is an adventure. Kids have fun while taking on new responsibilities, grow as individuals and develop social skills.”
Camp hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with extended care available at no additional charge from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m.to 6:00 p.m. Due to COVID-19, the Y is taking precautions to ensure the safety of the children and staff.
