HUTCHINSON, Kan. — David Foster with the Hutchinson YMCA is encouraging kids to get involved at the Y this summer.
"We're really excited about debuting what's going to be called our Summer Fun Club," said Foster. "It's kind of a half-day camp option for families with students that just finished kindergarten through 6th grade. We'll have that from 9 a.m. to noon every day Monday through Thursday, starting the week of May 30. That's $65 for members and $85 for non-members. You'll get to sample something that's kind of specific to the YMCA."
If you want to have your kids go more than once, they will be different.
"Waterworks, we're going to have a gymnastics week, a sports performance week, a sports sampler," Foster said. "We'll have lots of other themed weeks that kind of highlight some of our programs and activities at the YMCA."
This is nine weeks of themes starting the week of May 30. The last week is the week of July 24. This is designed to fit if parents need to have kids have doctors appointments or participate in other afternoon activities without locking them into a whole day.
"We have a lot of really good all day summer camps here in town," Foster said. "Rather than duplicate a lot of services, this is something that we felt might be a little bit of a niche for the Y, to just have that half-day option for parents, people that work from home, stay at home parents, homeschool families, or just people that are looking for just a half-day option for their kids. I think this will be a good offering and a good addition to the other things that are going on in the community."
For more information, give the Y a call at (620) 662-1203.
