Field Trips & Session Themes for YMCA Camp Oakasha in Southbury!

YMCA Camp Oakasha staff are getting ready for another awesome summer!  We have made some exciting changes this year, including switching to one week sessions and allowing all campers to go on field trips every other week.  We made the change to one week sessions in order to offer more flexibility to families who have busy summers, without worrying about the split session fee.  

So here's the exciting stuff! We're thrilled because now we can offer nine different themes and a wider variety of themed activities.  When we do not have a field trip, we will have a special all-camp event based on our theme!     
Session 1 - June 24-28- Oakasha Stars!                     
Session 2 - July 1-5- Holidays! Trip to Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury on Wednesday. 
Session 3 - July 8-12-  Super Hero Week! 
Session 4- July 15-19-Retro Week!  Trip to Fun Squared in Newington for Bowling, Laser Tag, and Pizza Lunch on Thursday. 
Session 5- July 22-26- Wild West! 
Session 6- July 29- Aug 2- Color Games!  Trip to Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk on Thursday. 
Session 7- August 5-9- Pirates Week! 
Session 8- August 12-16- Space Travelers!  Trip to CT Science Center in Hartford on Thursday. 
Session 9- August 19-23- Fun with Fiction!   

There's still time to register online at www.campoakasha.org or at the Waterbury YMCA.  We are also having an Open House at camp on Saturday, June 1st from 12- 3 PM.  You can always contact me at cambrozaitis@waterburyymca.org with any questions.  Thanks for reading!
