The philosophy of YMCA day camping is to help each child develop
to his/her full potential. We care about all aspects of your child’s
development and our programs are designed to challenge and stimulate
your child’s physical, mental, and social development.
Camp will be held in the newly equipped Woodbridge Branch YMCA located
on 1 Highland Terrace, Fords. Facilities include outdoor pool, fields,
basketball court, and a specially equipped classroom.
Valerye Jacaman-Robles, Site Director,
will direct the day camp program. Valerye is a full-time YMCA professional
5 years of experience. Counselors are primarily teachers and college
students over 18 years of age. All are carefully selected on the
basis of skill, experience, and understanding of YMCA philosophy.
Counselors are trained according to YMCA and state health department
standards.
The health and safety of each child is
our prime concern. A staff member trained in CPR and first aid will
be present at all times. As required by the Health Department of
the State of New Jersey, each child must have a notarized health
form on file. In case of severe accident or illness, the injured
child will be transported to JFK Medical Center.
The Woodbridge Branch YMCA recognizes
the need to serve all members of the community regardless of the
ability to pay full costs for programs and memberships. To apply
for financial assistance, contact the Woodbridge Branch YMCA for
an application. Financial assistance is limited and requests should
be made at the earliest possible date.
