No school? No problem. Our Y offers full-day mini-camps for those days when school is out. Children can be dropped off as early as 6 a.m. and picked up as late as 6 p.m. Counselors lead children in scheduled activities throughout the day such as playing games in the gym, arts and crafts, an occasional movie, swimming and much more. Children bring a sack lunch, bathing suit and towel each day. Registration deadline is the Friday prior to the day of camp. (Registrations after that day will be assessed a $10 late fee).

The fee is $20 per child for members or $30 per child for non-members.

Summer Adventure Camp
The Y will again be offering our Summer Adventure Camp on the magnificent campus of La Lumiere School. Included in the 155-acre grounds are a country lake, wooded areas with several trails and well-kept athletic fields. Camp tentatively begins Monday, June 4, and runs through Friday, Aug. 10. Every day campers will be bussed out to the school and will then return to the Y for swimming, games and other special activities. Every week campers will also get to experience fantastic field trips to places like Indiana Beach, Deep River Water Park, IMAX Theatre and Warren Dunes State Park.
At Summer Adventure Camp there is never a moment for down time. Campers will spend their day at La Lumiere canoeing, learning archery, participating in the high ropes course, playing sports, building forts, making arts & crafts, engaging in age-appropriate games and so much more.
Look for more information on camp as summer approaches!
