In celebration of Wisconsin Y Camp Week, the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee (the Y) is offering a $100 discount for new campers that register for YMCA Camp Matawa during Camp Week – April 29 – May 5.
“Summer camp is such an iconic childhood experience, and the YMCA camping programs not only offer that experience, but also really help campers develop the strong, positive values they need to live a healthy life,” said Jen Feltz, executive director of camping services for the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee. “Now is the time for families to start thinking about camp and we hope this incentive can help bring even more kids in our community to Camp Matawa.”
Additionally, both YMCA Camp Matawa and YMCA Camp Minikani are holding public open houses during Camp Week for families interested in checking out either camp.
