SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION SESSIONS  

Questions about camp? Visit us for a Summer Camp Information Session coming soon! Meet staff and learn more about camp. We believe that the camp experience is transformational. YMCA camp gives kids the chance to make new friends, learn new skills and interact with nature. Join us for our in-person info sessions to learn more! We currently offer three camps, for children of all ages! 

·         Camp Pikati is a day camp that operates on-site at the West Suburban YMCA in Newton. Children between the ages of 3 to 13 can attend. 

·         Camp Chickami is a traditional outdoor day camp located in Wayland on a beautiful, wooded property that borders conservation land. Children entering grades 1-10 are welcome to attend 

·         Camp Frank A. Day is a traditional co-ed overnight camp located an hour west of Boston in East Brookfield. Campers, who range in age from 7 to 16, live in rustic cabins or platform tents, with groups determined by age and gender identification.

YMCA Wellness Tips 

A time filled with celebrations, and precious family time. Unfortunately, however, this is also the time of year when the flu and other illnesses start to make its rounds. As temperatures continue to drop, COVID and other viruses become easier to contract. Due to winter’s cold temperatures and low humidity, these viruses can survive longer, hold on tighter, and spread quicker, which is why winter has gained the popular label of “cold and flu season.” If you are often at the YMCA, do not let the fear of catching a bug keep you from sticking to your exercise schedule this year, and follow these tips! 

·         Wear a mask! 

·         Wipe down equipment before and after use. 

·         Wash your hands frequently. 

·         Do not visit if you are feeling unwell. 

·         Stay hydrated.

Season of Giving!  

Tis’ the Season of Giving here at the WSYMCA and we sure have tons of cheer to spread… 

To kick off the season of giving, we encouraged all current and prospective members to participate in our canned food drive! All canned goods were donated to The Newton Food Pantry, with our community donating over 450 goods that were delivered to the pantry in early December! 

The Y’s Annual Giving Tree was a great success this year! Placed in the lobby, the tree was filled with holiday wishes from families in our community. This year the Giving Tree SMASHED records, as we helped a total of 83 participants, which made up 36 families. In total, we had over 500 gifts donated to those in need, and 130 individuals who donated gifts or made a monetary donation directly to the Giving Tree! The Y is so grateful for its astonishingly generous community that continues to raise the bar each year.  

Lastly, the Y is encouraging its community to make a small donation of $22 to ring in the new year and help us debut our new DipJar – an effortless way to support causes you care about in less than 60 seconds! A donation of $22 will spread joy in the New Year and will support a youth membership’s financial aid for one month. Help a child cultivate friendships and thrive in the West Suburban YMCA’s active, fun setting. Find out more about the DipJar by visiting the Y in person!
