Summer Day Camp

 

The Roy Blunt YMCA of Bolivar will again be having Summer Day Camp.  Day Camp is for children who will be going into 1st through 6th grade in the fall.  The program will feature exciting days filled with age appropriate activities for all the children.  Each week the camp will go on a field trip as well as swimming.  Several of the field trips include Lucas Oil Speedway, Springfield Cardinals Baseball game, Watershed Center of the Ozarks, and Rutledge Wilson Farms to name a few.  The camp will have a focus on our Christian emphasis all summer as well.  The campers will participate in crazy science experiments, arts and crafts, and roller skating.

 

Currently we are offering a free one month family membership to the first 50 families who sign a child up for full time camp this summer.  That is a $50 value!  Then if you join the Y full time during your free trial month, you will pay no joiner fee ($50 value).  That's a total yearly membership savings of $100!
