WESTFIELD AREA Y SUMMER DAY CAMP EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION BEGINS JANUARY 11TH

The Westfield Area Y is gearing up for summer camp! Registration begins on January 11th. Each year children ages 3-15 try new activities, learn new skills, get creative, have a blast and make new friends in a safe environment.

The Y is excited to offer new camps this summer such as Advanced Basketball, Tennis, Angry Birdies, Computer Programming, Maker Space, Minute to Win it and Pioneer.

Y Camp programs feature traditional, sports, specialty, travel and teen camps. Children can participate for one or more weeks or all summer long in full-day, half-day and extended day programs. Camp programs are located in Garwood, Mountainside and Westfield. All Westfield Area Y camp programs are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA).

An “Early Bird Special” of 10% off is being offered for those who register their child and pay in full for Y summer camps between January 11th-January 30th. The special is not valid for before, after or combo care. However, the multiple child discount does apply giving parents an opportunity for savings on summer camp programs at the Y for all their children.
