Perhaps talking about summer camp will help you feel like summer will be coming – if not soon, at least eventually. – Lil

It’s been a long, cold winter, but the staff at Meeting Waters YMCA has been hard at work making plans for their 50^th consecutive summer of camp programming.

The regional Y will be hosting two “Cabin Fever Relief-Camp Information Parties” in March. One will take place at the Y’s program center in Bellows Falls on Friday, March 7^th. Another will take place at Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro on Friday, March 14^th. Both events will run from 5:30-6:30 PM.

Meeting Waters YMCA camp staff will lead camp activities, provide healthy camp snacks, introduce the many financial assistance options, talk about bus service from 11 area communities, answer questions, and accept registrations for the 2014 camp season. All youth that pre-register at the event will receive a free camp shirt.

Children and parents are encouraged to wear summer clothes to the event.

Both events are free and open to the public.
