Winter Family Camp
February 12-15, 2010

Enjoy a family weekend at the New York YMCA Camp

Is your family looking for a great way to spend President’s Day Weekend? Join us for a fun-filled weekend of crafts, games, activities and programs for all ages at our annual Winter Weekend Festival.

Enjoy nine buffet-style meals, a fireplace in your dorm lobby, 3 nights lodging, and some great memories to take home with you. There will be plenty of crafts, games, recreation and evening activities to go around!

All you need to bring is a sleeping bag, pillow, bath towel, warm clothes and we’ll provide the rest! All buildings are a short walk to each other.

Snow is always an added bonus and if we have some, you might see activities like snow tubing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.

Registration Information
Planning has begun for our 2010 Winter Weekend Festival. If you have a talent or skill and would like to facilitate a class during the weekend, please contact Hillary Gallacher at hgallacher@ymcanyc.org.

Weekend Meals
Camp's food service is in the forefront of the YMCA's Activate America initiatives. We support a healthy lifestyle in the foods we serve. We offer fresh fruits in our breakfast bar to include fresh strawberries, blueberries (when in season), cantaloupe, and honeydew along with canned fruits. In addition, we offer fresh vegetables on our salad bars for lunch and dinner and a vegetarian option to create a well balanced diet. 

Over the past two years we have been reducing the fat and sugar in our menu while providing meals that guests will enjoy. Our pastas are now made with whole wheat. All oil is zero trans fat oil. We use lean meat in our menu items like ground turkey and turkey hot dogs. We are currently moving away from items like Danish and donuts, which have high fructose corn syrup, to homemade items like banana and pumpkin breads and a variety of muffins made with whole-wheat flour.

We can accommodate dietary needs to include vegetarians and guests with food-borne allergies. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at ssumnick@ymcanyc.org.

Sincerely,
Steve Sumnick
