Camp Mahackeno Open House is scheduled for May 19, 12-2 p.m. If you are not familiar with the Family Y’s 32-acre Mahackeno Outdoor Center, it’s a great time to tour the facility. Prospective camper families can see sample schedules and meet Meg and her staff, many of whom are returning and are former campers themselves.
Camp Mahackeno’s programs are balanced to meet the needs of each camper, including a Special Cares Camp for children with special needs. There’s also a strong program for older campers, complete with team-building exercises and local field trips. For more information, visit www.westporty.org or contact Meg George at 203-226-8981, ext. 179; mgeorge@westporty.org.
The Mahackeno campus is also the setting for the Y’s planned new home. Provided sufficient funding is in place by mid-May, construction of Phase I is scheduled to begin in October, starting with a 54,000 sq. ft. main building that will include a lap pool and family/teaching pool; 5,900 sq. ft. Wellness Center; multi-purpose Gymnasium; three large group-fitness studios; Child Watch/Kids’ Adventure Gym area; five locker rooms; and other amenities of a modern, family-oriented YMCA facility.
