SUMMERQUEST

• Camp SummerQuest Weeks & Themes

  Week 1: Fun and Games
  There’s no better way to start camp than to get active! This week we will bring the ‘fun’ by traveling to new locations, and bring the ‘game’ by challenging our friends in activities. This is a great start for new friendships and healthy competition.
  
  Week 2: It’s a Garden State Thing!
  We’re from New Jersey, so why not check out some cool spots where we live. Maybe we will find some places we never even knew existed!
  
  Week 3: Down by the River
  This is an action packed week of hanging on the river. Hopefully your arms don’t get tired because we will be doing some major paddling! If you’ve never tried water sports, you sure are in for an adventure. There will be an overnight at Stokes State Forest this week.
  
  Week 4: Take Me to the Jersey Shore
  Who’s ready to ride some waves and hangout on the boardwalk! This entire week we will be visiting a different beach in New Jersey! Get ready to relax under the sun and
  build sand castles.
  
  Week 5: Create, Grow, Explore!
  It’s hard to step out of your comfort zone, but this is what this whole week is about! There’s no better way to face your fears than with friends. Who knows maybe you will try something you end up loving, like going on a roller coaster for the first time or swimming!
  
  Week 6: Meet Me on the River
  This is the second week of river fun. If you weren’t here the first week you can expect some fun in the river and even the mountains! We will hike, paddle and swim. There will be an overnight at Stokes State Forest this week.
  
  Week 7: Adventure Time!
  Let’s get ready for some high pace speed! Whether we’re visiting an amusement park or getting competitive in some fun games, this week provides your summer with extra fun and maybe even stepping out of your comfort zone.
  
  Week 8: Let’s Get Some Vitamin Sea!
  Who doesn’t love the beach? We are lucky because we get two whole weeks’ worth! There’s nothing like getting some ice cream from the boardwalk and sitting on your towel and enjoying the waves. Get ready to visit a different beach every single day.
  
  Week 9: Ook’s Color War Challenge
  Get ready for a week-long COLOR WAR! Teamwork and the Y’s Four Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility bring you and your team to victory in a week of competitive games, challenges and adventures. There will be a double overnight this week at Fairview Lakes YMCA.
  
  OVERNIGHT INFORMATION
  SummerQuest will participate in overnights every three weeks during the summer and a double overnight the last week of camp. If a camper chooses not to participate in an overnight, parents must provide transportation to and from the overnight location. Please note this will not be an option for the double overnight. Camp fees will not be prorated or refunded if a camper chooses not to participate.

• Camp for One, Camp For All!

  The YMCA believes that every child should have the opportunity to enjoy a summer camp experience. As a charity, the Madison Area YMCA offers a financial assistance program that provides help to families who cannot afford the full price of camp.

  Through generous donations and special events, the Madison Area YMCA provided 254 weeks of camp last year which totaled more than $71,500 in assistance.

  When you register your child for camp this year, please consider making a donation. Our financial assistance does more than send kids to camp. You’ll help ensure that another child will have the best summer ever.
