Several options are available at the YMCA to curb the summertime blues, for kids and adults alike.

Summer Day Camp

The Henderson Family YMCA Summer Day Camp provides all day care for children ages Pre-K through rising 8th graders. Our hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Summer Day Camp offers a safe environment for our campers and a day filled with daily devotions and fellowship, games and activities, arts and crafts, daily snacks in the morning and afternoon, swimming and swimming lessons, weekly field trips and lots of fun!

We provide lunch each Friday of camp and during most field trips; other weekdays campers must bring lunch. Each camper should bring a swimsuit, comb

It is the first of July and normal fall, winter, and spring daytime “peaceful-ness” here at the YMCA has been lost. Why? We have lots and lots and lots of little kiddies here at the YMCA attend-ing the YMCA Summer Day Camp.

And, from what I have observed, both the kids and their counselors are having a mighty good time swimming, playing sports and games, and taking some interesting field trips. Even though us “older” folks might miss our peace and quiet, the sounds of the kids remind us all just what the original purpose of the YMCA was: serving youth.

Recently, you may have seen or heard news articles about the “re-branding” of the YMCA and the change to a new YMCA logo. All YMCAs are changing to the use of a new, more colorful and modern “scripted” logo moving away from the old “blocked” red and black Y logo.

Change is often tough, especially for us “aged” citizens, but the new logo has added a feeling of newness and recom-mitment to the YMCA purpose. Along with this new look or image, the YMCA has restated the purpose to better define the overall mission. The purpose state-ment is now:

The YMCA is for:• youth development• healthy living• social responsibility

This re-statement or new emphasis clearly defines what the YMCA is all about.

As I first men-tioned, the YMCA has always been involved with the development of the youth. Serving the youth in commu-nities served by a YMCA is probably the key purpose for existence. Needless to say, the youth are our future and the YMCA is proud to be involved with helping guide the youth in positive directions.

Secondly, the YMCA clearly is a leader in the promotion of healthy liv-ing. YMCA facilities provide all ages the opportunity to exercise, play, relax, and learn skills that will lead to a healthier life style — all in a healthy environment at a reasonable cost. The Y is always looking for ways to include everyone who will respect the responsibility of being a member and/or a participant in the program.

And finally, I should mention social responsibility. All YMCAs are “not-for-profit Christian based organizations” founded by local people to serve the local community. As I have said on

many occasions, the YMCA is open to everyone. A person does not have to be a Christian to be a member but all mem-bers of the Y are expected to respect the values promoted by the YMCA. The five YMCA values are: Caring, Honesty, Respect, Faith and Responsibility.

The responsibility value is so impor-tant to a YMCA. The YMCA must be responsible for serving the community with its services. The Y must teach the youth what it means to be responsible for themselves and responsible to others. The leadership and staff of the Y must be responsible stewards of the YMCA and the many programs it offers to members and the community. The leaders and staff must take responsibility for assuring that the YMCA will be suc-cessful now and in the future. In general, the YMCA must be a role model for social responsibility within the commu-nity it serves.

The YMCA might look a little dif-ferent and the message might be stated a bit differently. Yet, the “heart of the reason for being” is still the same. The YMCA is here to serve its members and the community in a responsible, caring, and respectful manner.

And it all starts with all those little kiddies and the sounds of them learning, playing, and experiencing some life lessons — but most of all, it starts with them having fun.

It’s for all thoselittle kiddies

and towel daily. Campers should wear closed toe shoes for safety reasons and ask that all toys, games and electronic games be left at home.

We promote the YMCA’s character traits; caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith. We encourage campers to share, be kind to one another, build friendship and build self-esteem and confidence, values that last a lifetime.

Staff is carefully selected, trained in CPR, AED and First Aid. The safety of your child is our primary objective. We work hard to achieve a ratio of 1 coun-selor to 6 campers in our younger camp, 1 counselor to 10 camp-ers in our middle camp and 1 counselor for every 12 campers in our oldest camp. Campers receive a camp T-shirt and camp bag. So come join us for the summer and let your child have an experience of a lifetime.

Registration is now open. We currently have openings for the second and third session. There is a non-refundable fee of $25 per child. The 2011 Summer Day Camp sessions and fees for the remainder of the summer are as follows:• Session #2: July 11 - July 29 • Session #3: Aug. 1-19 YMCA member fees:• $310/session 1st child (which

averages out to roughly $103 per week)

• $290/session 2nd child• $280/session 3rd childNon-member fees:• $385/session 1st child (which

averages out to roughly $124 per week)

• $365/session 2nd child• $355/session 3rd child

Discounts are available for multiple children within the same family.

In an effort to include all children, the Henderson Family YMCA has a financial assistance program that uses a sliding scale, which is based on need. For more information, please contact the YMCA at (252) 438-2144.

After-school camp

The Henderson Family YMCA provides after school care for boys and girls ages pre-K through 8th grade. Currently the YMCA buses pick up campers from the following schools: Aycock, Carver, Clark, E.M. Rollins, E.O. Young, and Zeb Vance elementa-ry schools; Vance Charter School; Eaton Johnson and Henderson middle schools; and Kerr-Vance Academy and Crossroads Chris-tian School. Dabney Elementary buses campers to the YMCA.

As campers arrive they are provided a cubby for their book bags and personal items. Each day we provide an afternoon snack, devotion, swimming, games and activities, optional homework time, some arts and crafts and a playground with swings — but most of all, a safe alternative to being home alone. We promote the YMCA’s character traits of caring, honesty, respect, responsi-bility and faith.

Our staff is carefully selected and trained in CPR, AED and First Aid. We are proud to work

towards a ratio of 1 counselor to 6 campers for the younger age group, 1 counselor to 10 for the middle age group and 1 counselor for every 12 campers for the older age group. Your child’s safety is our primary objective.

Registration for the 2011-2012 school year is now open. To participate in the program you just need to come by the Y and register at the front desk between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. There is a non-refundable $25 registration fee per child.

The fees and payment schedule are as follows:• YMCA member, 1 child —

$160 per month due by the 1st of the month

• Non-member, 1 child — $180 per month due by the 1st of the monthThis averages out to $40 per

week for members and $45 per week for non-members. The monthly fee includes teacher workdays, early dismissals and holiday breaks at no extra charge. Discounts are available for addi-tional children in the same family.

In an effort to include all chil-

dren, the YMCA has a financial assistance program. This pro-gram uses a sliding fee scale for membership and childcare that is based on need.

For more information, please call the Henderson Family YMCA at (252) 438-2144.

Youth/adult sports

Tee-Ball is underway and will end on July 28. We will be offer-ing volleyball for kids 6-12 years of age. The season will begin Aug. 20: registration is now open.

The Henderson Family YMCA wants to better meet the needs of the community by providing a va-riety of sports for youth that focus on the basic fundamental skills. By emphasizing fundamental skills it provides a solid founda-tion for children to build on.

We are very interested in begin-ning adult volleyball. If you may be interested or would like to get a team together please contact Kim at the [email protected] or for more information about youth sports please call the Henderson Family YMCA at (252) 438-2144.

Local farmers set up for the Farmers’ Market in the YMCA parking lot on Wednesday’s near the track with

lots of fresh produce such as corn, tomatoes, okra, cantaloupe, watermelon, squash, cucumbers, flowers,

baked goods and much more.

Fresh pickin’s to be had at the Farmers’ MarketBefore you know it, the sum-

mer will be over and the school year will begin. Summer swim-ming lessons will have come to an end and it will be time for fall swimming lessons to start. Hal-loween at the YMCA will be just around the corner.

Yes, this year seems to be go-ing really fast but we have to keep water safety in mind, especially considering our proximity to Kerr Lake. The Y is now chal-lenging parents, Parent Teacher Organizations and each school to explore the possibility of spon-soring water safety lessons to be held at the facility.

The YMCA staff had the pleasure of working with Eric Sanchez and 60 students from

The Henderson Collegiate School stopped by the Y for swim lessons Friday, July 8.

Cycle North Carolina, a part of North Carolina Amateur Sports, has an-nounced that their fall

2011 bicycle ride across North Carolina will in-clude a stop in Henderson.

CNC will spend the

night of Oct. 4 at the Henderson Family YMCA. This is an exciting event and a grand opportu-

nity for the community to welcome and showcase over 1,000 cyclists from throughout the state.

Many of the cyclists will be “camping out” at the YMCA with others choos-ing to stay at local motels. All of the participants will be looking for good meals and shopping opportuni-ties.

The YMCA hosted Cycle North Carolina in 2001 and it was a huge success in highlighting our area.

There will be special events planned for Oct. 4 and transportation services

provided to the cyclists to move them around the area.

The Henderson Family YMCA, the Henderson Vance County Chamber of Commerce, and Harris In-corporated of Henderson will be the coordinating and host sponsors.

Other local sponsors will be needed.

Please contact Julia Langston at [email protected] to be a sponsor or a volunteer.
