Meet the Staff

Steve Lockney—Camp Director Stephan Lockney has been running day camps for the YMCA for 19 years and has worked at a Summer Camp every Summer since 1992. Stephan began his camping career at Camp Bement in Charlton and his Y camping career at YMCA Camp Harrington. In 1992 Stephan and YMCA Camp Harrington were honored by the State of Massachusetts with a Distinguished Programming award for the camps work in inclusive based camping.

Stephan believes Summer Camp offers a unique chance for children to build social emotional skills that help them mature into thriving young adults. A testament to his belief was that 95% of the staff that worked for him at YMCA Camp Harrington were at one time a camper. The skills the children learned during their early childhood years as a camper helped propel over 500 of them into the camp work world at young adults.

Stephan is passionate about camping and serves as a Key Note Speaker and Conference Presenter for the American Camping Association. Stephan leads by example and strives to create a positive environment at camp where children feel safe to engage in play with peers, try new experiences, and most important enjoy being a child! He looks forward to the Summer of 2015 and all the new experiences he and the campers at Camp Greendale on Indian Lake are about to embark on.

volunteered in the community introducing tennis to many schools

and youth organizations. Pete has also used his tennis background

to give back to the community by raising thousands of dollars for

local and national charities.

Pete is a life-long resident of Massachusetts and currently lives in

Merrimac, MA with his wife, Donna, and two daughters, Jenni and

Jessi.

RAINY DAY PROGRAMMING

WHAT DO YOU DO DURING RAINY DAYS AT CAMP?

Camp Greendale on Indian Lake has two types of rainy day programming. If there is no

Thunder or Lightning and the rain is a drizzle activities will go on as scheduled. Some

adjustments might be made in our schedule, but for the most part, we would encourage

campers to dress for the weather and enjoy some alternate programming such as puddle

jumping or mud-ball.

If it is Thundering or Lightning, safety dictates that we keep all campers indoors. During this time, our rainy day activities are

enacted. We have a variety of crafts and indoor games that we will bring out specifically for these types of days. While we

hope these days are few and far between, we are fully prepared with gak-making supplies, bingo prizes, and rec room games

to keep campers happy and occupied while the weather passes.

SPECIALTY PROGRAMMING SAMPLES

Performing Arts Special

Providing Children the opportunities to explore performing arts is

something unique to our Summer Experience. Performing arts have been

linked to increases in children’s creativity, self esteem, focus, collaboration

skills, and dedication to a task. Children will be given the opportunity to

experience dance, dramatic play, acting, performance art, and a variety of

other arts during their time in this special.

Aquatics Special

Indoor and Outdoor Aquatics programming will make our camp

program unique to Massachusetts in 2015. Children will be

given the opportunity to ADD-ON swim lessons in our

therapeutic Alden Pool on Tuesday/Thursday ($15/week), they

will be given the choice to have recreational swim each

afternoon in the Main Pool, and they will have a chance to boat

on Indian Lake in canoes and individual Kayaks.

Tennis Special

Does your child have an interest in Tennis or is it something they never

had the opportunity to get involved with? Well our Tennis Specialty area

gives your child the chance to learn the basics of Tennis or continue

their own development if they already have experience. Utilizing the

only indoor clay courts in Central Massachusetts children will be given

the chance to experience Tennis in a place like no other around.

SPECIALTY PROGRAMMING SAMPLES

Outdoor Education Special When children engage in adventure education specialty activities they learn about interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships and build valuable life experiences (cooperation, leadership, positive risk-taking, and trust). Using a Challenge by Choice philosophy children will be given opportunities to challenge themselves to grow and challenge themselves to learn the skills necessary to work as a team with their peers.

Sports and Recreation Special

Children have a great need for physical exercise and activity and

a chance to use their muscles to run, swing, kick, shoot, jump,

skate and/or ride a bike. By playing group games (tag,

parachute, biking, playground time, etc.) and non-competitive

sports (soccer, kickball, basketball, hockey, etc.) we will allow

them to explore their environment, develop muscle strength and

coordination, and gain self-confidence.

Visual Arts Special Our young artist specialty area provides a strong grounding in the visual arts and encourages creative and personal growth through self-expression to all children that attend camp. A Diverse Curriculum encompassing several mediums (painting, drawing, sculpting, textile, collage, lego, etc.) and a self-expressive environment allows campers to build self-confidence along with a foundation of creative and technical skills in the visual arts.

Field Trips

Each week the older campers in camp have an optional field trip

that they can choose to attend. Field trip locations in the past

have been Canobie Lake Park, Breezy Waterslides, Legoland Boston,

and the Franklin Park Zoo. Field trips are not covered with camp

tuition and cost $15-30.00 per trip

STEM Special (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

Our STEM specialty area provides children with a hands on

approach to exciting education opportunities in the Summer. An

experiential curriculum will allow children to experience science/

math in fun and creative ways. Children will build with Legos,

create natural bird feeders to allow for bird watching, and use

math to determine measurements needed to create their own

bubble solutions are just some of the exciting activities planned

for 2017.
