CAMP ULBRICH GROUPS RASCALS

For campers entering Pre- K and Kindergarten This camp is geared for those first time campers that are entering Pre-K & Kindergarten in September.

Based out of the YMCA KinderHouse, the Rascals, as they are better known as, will participate in traditional camp activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and field games. Rascals will also learn the meaning of teamwork, sharing, and independence under the watchful eyes of our caring staff. This camp is a great introduction to Camp Ulbrich in a safe, lower ratio, fun, and nurturing environment.

For campers entering grades 1-5 All-Stars is designed to give every camper a memorable and rewarding summer camp experience. All-Stars is for children in grades 1-5 and runs in two week sessions from the end of June through the middle of August. Throughout the day, campers will participate in a variety of group activities, arts and crafts, and ―all camp‖ activities. Campers swim every day except Field Trip days. In addition, to add a different spin to each session there will be a theme around which activities will be based. Groups are kept small to help foster relationships and memories that will last a lifetime.

ADVENTURTEENS

For campers entering grades 6-9 Summer Camp for teenagers!

We know that once campers enter their teen years, their needs and desires in a camp experience change.

AdventurTeens are provided with more independence, greater challenges, increased responsibility and outstanding staff to help guide them through the summer months. They are constantly on the move participating in group activities, weekly field trips, swimming and hiking at Bertini Park. The AdventurTeens also have full use of the Rotary/YMCA Teen Center, where they can play pool, ping pong, or just chill out. The goal of the AdventurTeen program is to create an atmosphere where teens feel safe, valued and free to express themselves. Register your teen today.

SWIM LESSONS & FREE SWIM The Wallingford Family YMCA prides itself in offering free swim and swim lessons to all of our campers each day. Campers swim time is broken into 20 minute lessons, then 20 minute free swim. Swim times will be in the afternoon to get campers out of the sun, and cooling down with their friends. Our camp aquatics staff offer a wide variety of swim lessons ranging from beginner to advanced. *Lessons are not offered to Teen Camp

BERTINI PARK Through a collaboration with the Wallingford Parks & Recreation, Camp Ulbrich will be utilizing Bertini Park to give our campers an opportunity to get back to nature. Campers will be able to hike, learn how to identify different plant species, build forts, and participate in nature based projects. Bertini Park is just one more enhancement that will give our campers a memorable summer.

C.I.T.’S

Counselors-in-Training For campers entering grades 10 This 4 week leadership training program is for teens entering 10th grade. Participants will learn the skills needed to prepare them for going out into the workforce. Under the guidance of the C.I.T. coordinator, participants will develop responsibility, teamwork, initiative, and the confidence that is needed to work with people of all ages. C.I.T.s will learn First Aid and CPR, group management and special activity skills all while having fun with other teens.

Interested participants need to fill out a C.I.T application for review. Selected candidates will be called for an interview. Those selected will be evaluated at the end of the 4 weeks. If they have received a positive evaluation, they will be invited to volunteer for an additional 2 week session to gain valuable experience working directly with the camp groups.
