THROUGH SUMMER CAMP

frost advisories yet to come,
registration for the Rose E.
Schneider Family YMCA “Camp Rose
Summer Camp” is open and accepting
new campers. With camp starting in just a
few short months on June 8, and running
through August 21, getting signed up
early is imperative! If you’re looking for
your camper to have a summer full of fun
and adventure, look no further-- Camp
Rose is the place for you.
“Our camp is for children in
Kindergarten through Sixth Grade and
runs Monday through Friday, 7:00 am
to 6:00 pm,” said Ashley Vranick, Youth
& Family Director at the Y. “This year, we
have a variety of different plans, weekly
field trips, and in-house activities with
special guests that all follow 11 separate
weekly curriculums.”
With themes like “#BeTheKindKid,”
“Heroes,” “Disney,” and “Around the
World,” campers experience a vast range
of activities and interests. Whether they
sign up for just one or all of the offered
programs, kids are bound to learn and
grow during their time at Camp Rose.
“We promote local community
businesses and resources with our
camps through partnerships that are
educational and fun,” Vranick said. “Our
field trips take us to places like Flying
Squirrel, Skate Castle, Moraine State
Park, Zelienople Community Pool,
Jellystone Park, and more. We also have
age-appropriate Safety Around the
Water instruction available and a literacy
program to help with the summer
learning loss that all kids experience
when they’re not in school. In particular,
through our partnerships with local
libraries, each grade will read and
explore books appropriate for each of
their unique reading levels.”
Vranick said a major overarching
theme to the whole summer is
“Disconnect to Reconnect,” referencing
disconnecting from electronic devices
and reconnecting with friends, nature,
and books.
“We want to get kids outside and
experience the real world around
them, so they can take off from screen
time, make friendships and develop
communication and social skills
throughout the summer,” she said.
“Camp Rose gives parents a perfect
opportunity to give their kids a summer
they’ll remember while also promoting
core values of the YMCA.”
While camps are the same price for
YMCA members and non-members
($190 per week), the YMCA’s mission
and stature in the community enable
them to offer scholarships to families
who qualify for financial assistance.
