YMCA Spring Break Camp Set for Early April

Posted
A Spring Break Camp is April 7 to 11 at the Kosciusko Community YMCA.
The kids will spend each day packed with learning and activity. The program runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is for children kindergarten through 6th grade.
There are several activities planned this year. On  April 7 kids will play games before and after going to the Guggisberg Cheese Factory and to Buggy Lane Farms in Middlebury.
On April 8, they’ll color Easter eggs, go to the park and climb the rock wall. On April 9 kids will visit MudLOVE for a tour, make 3D Easter cards, climb the wall and play at the park. On April 10 School Break Campers will make a flower pot and plant a flower, and have an Easter egg and scavenger hunt. And on April 11, they’ll visit the Botanical Conservatory in Fort Wayne.
Kids need to bring a sack lunch and tennis shoes to the Y each day and be dressed for outdoor activities. Registration forms will be available for those who are not already registered as part of the Kids’ Club program.
Pre-registration and pre-payment are required for all participants. A late fee will be added after April 4. All parents must sign their children in to Spring Break Childcare.
The Y will also be offering a Spring Break Free Day on  April 10. The Y will be open all day to all kids and their parents. Children under 10 must be accompanied by a parent at both facilities and children under 7 must be accompanied in the pool by a parent.
