A letter from our Food Service Director:
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 campers will enjoy. Our spaghetti and ziti are now made with whole wheat. All oil is zero trans fat oil. Our juices at summer camp are a full 100% fruit juice. Snacks such as cookies have been replace by fresh fruit such as grapes. We use lean meat in our menu items like ground turkey and turkey hot dogs. Our pizza is made with a part skim mozzarella cheese which reduces the fat. 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 children with food-borne allergies. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at ssumnick@ymcanyc.org.
Sincerely,
Steve Sumnick
Dorms
Greenkill's dorms provide comfortable spaces for campers and participants to relax and come together around a fire. Each dorm has four rooms with bunk beds. Judo staff are assigned to a room and supervise campers while in the dorms.
Waterfront
Campers and participants have the opportunity to swim each day. Our waterfront is supervised by a trained YMCA Waterfront Director and certified YMCA lifeguards. During the first afternoon, campers will have a waterfront orientation with the Waterfront Director including a swim test. As a safety precaution, each swimmer who enters the Waterfront has a buddy and everyone participates in buddy checks throughout the swimming period.
