The New Y 390 Murray Hill Parkway
Enrichment activities expand the minds of campers and keep them educationally engaged in a fun way during the summer months. Research shows that the key to reducing the effect of what is widely known as “Summer Slide” is finding novel ways to get books into the hands of children during the summer break. Our camp day excites and energizes campers to learn new things, exercise their minds and bodies, and build friendships. Hands on science, art, music and physical activity are all part of the daily program. All activities take place in the New Y building giving every camper access to a variety of fun and interactive experiences.
The Meadowlands YMCA
understands that each family
has their own summer camp
needs so we offer flexible
schedules including daily and
weekly options!
