MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Camp Westwood! Here at Camp Westwood we focus on giving our families and campers the best experience possible on our beautiful 85 acres. Our focus is on youth development, allowing campers to discover skills, build relationships and develop a sense of belonging. This is done through being encouraged to try new things, make new friendships and feeling welcomed into our camp family!

At the core of our days we focus on the YMCA’s values of Caring (red), Honesty (blue), Respect (yellow) and Responsibility (green). It is our belief, after a week or a whole summer with us, you will notice these values developing in your child. My hope is that you and your family can find a connection to camp that all of our staff and past campers feel. We would love to meet with you, show you our facility and answer any questions you may have! Hope to see you at Camp Westwood soon!

Here’s to the Best Summer Yet!

CAMP RAINBOWExperience the outdoors and the wonders of nature with the first of our progressive camp offerings - Camp Rainbow! Camps are arranged in groups by their grade. Campers will be encouraged to practice healthy lifestyles and participate in activities geared toward their social, emotional and physical development. These young campers follow a daily schedule of events which include group games, arts and crafts, swim lessons, recreational swim and playground use. These activities are carried out under the watchful eyes of counselors trained to meet the needs of our young campers.

YOUTH ENTERING GRADES 3 - 5

CAMP EXPLORATIONThis program is day camping in the traditional sense. It is the next phase of our progressive camp offerings. Campers are assigned to different groups according to their grade and will participate in age appropriate activities. They will learn new skills such as boating and continue to develop their swimming techniques through daily swim lessons. Our typical schedule includes a variety of activities that focus on character development, teamwork and good sportsmanship. Campers have the opportunity to make new friends and develop social awareness.

YOUTH ENTERING GRADES 6 - 8

CAMP ADVENTURECamp Adventure is comprised of our older campers, it allows for further development of skills introduced in Camp Exploration. Swimming remains an integral part of the daily schedule. Campers in this group are given more opportunity to plan certain activities to develop leadership and creativity. All activities are geared toward building good character and responsible teens. We strive to instill four main character traits: caring, honesty, responsibility and respect.

Why Day Camp? Why Westwood?

Being outside makes you healthier!!!!!!!!!!!! Get back to nature.

There is more and more literature about the positive effects of getting kids outside and active. From general health and wellbeing to specific health and vision benefits to excellent opportunities for socialization - it is important to get kids back in nature and help limit screen time. That is our goal here at YMCA Camp Westwood!

80%

Of kids ages 8 to 12 say contact with nature

makes them more creative, happy, healthy,

and smart

zzz

Spending time in green space improves

your sleep

90%

Of vitamin D can be obtained from casual exposure to sunlight

Combat nearsightedness by being outside in natural light and away from close

work and screen time

5-15

Minutes in nature helps lower blood pressure,

heart rate, and cortisol pressure (which is your

stress hormone)

20%

Improved memory after walking through nature1

1 2008 study at the Univ. of Michigan gave study participants a rigorous memory test before taking them for a walk. One part of the group then walked down a busy street and one part walked through an arboretum. The test was readministered and the group that walked through the arboretum scored nearly 20% higher.

A YMCA Without WallsThe Westwood YMCA in Coventry is what we call a YMCA without walls. We are not a traditional YMCA that has a gym, fitness center, swimming pool etc. Instead what we offer is a beautiful three season outdoor facility and year-round programming at local schools. Because we do not have a full facility your membership fee is also reduced, in comparison to a full facility Y.

The beginning of this summer brochure outlines all our programs regarding our summer day camp and our summer specialty camps. The next part of the brochure outlines programs that we offer in addition to day camp. This includes;

• Sports Programs. Tennis, soccer, basketball, and more!

• Swim Programs. A complete swim lesson program for all ages and abilities based on the national YMCA Progressive Swim Program. We also offer competitive swim training in our lake.

• Special Events. Fishing tournaments, movies (indoor and outdoor), kids triathlon, water games, and more!

• Childcare Programs. Fall childcare and enrichment programs at Western Elementary, Washington Oaks, and Metcalf schools. The enrichment programs are open to everyone, not just our members!

• Cabin and campground rentals. We have a variety of cabins from primitive to our Executive cabin on the water’s edge. We rent sites in our campground for campers up to 39 feet and also tenting.

PLEASE NOTE: one dog allowed per campsite (must be on leash) and NO dogs allowed in cabins.

• Facility Rentals for Special Events. This is done “a la carte”. You can rent the lodge on the waterfront for a wedding, shower, reunion, birthday party, or other functions. You can also rent specific areas of our facility like the ball field, hardcourt area, a portion of the waterfront, etc.

All these amenities are available to the public and to our members at a discount. Join NOW!!

The National YMCA has created the latest evolution of Y Swim Lessons. The program is still progressive and designed to help swimmers of all abilities experience a sense of achievement as they move through levels. Please check with staff if you are not sure of your child’s level.

STAGE A

Water DiscoveryParents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

STAGE B

Water ExplorationIn stage B parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.

YOUTH SWIM LESSONS 40 minute lessonsWeekdays (2 days per week) $40 (Non-Members: $80) Saturday Class (1 day per week) $20 (Non-Members: $40)

STAGE 1

Water AcclimationIncreases comfort with underwater exploration and basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance. While using a flotation device, swimmers will learn to swim independently in correct body position, become comfortable getting their face wet, floating on their back and jumping into the water without assistance.

STAGE 2

Water MovementEncourages forward movement in water and basic self-rescue skills performed independently. Swimmers in this level swim independently with a flotation device, get their face wet, and jump in and exit water without assistance. Swimming in correct body position, forward movement, back gliding and safety skills will be emphasized.

STAGE 3

Water StaminaDevelops intermediate self-rescue skills performed at a longer distance than in previous stages. At this level, students swim without a bubble or with only a single slice flotation. They will learn to swim in a correct prone front position with their face in the water and also back glide 10 yards without a bubble. This class builds endurance to swimming on front one length of the dock without flotation device and develops stroke technique on front and back.

STAGE 4

Stroke IntroductionIntroduces basic stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and reinforces water safety through treading water and elementary backstroke. Rhythmic breathing and flutter kicks will be practiced.

STAGE 5

Stroke DevelopmentIntroduces breaststroke and butterfly. Reinforces water safety through treading water and side stroke. The four competitive strokes and side stroke will be taught. Participants should be able to swim the length of the dock with proper rotary breathing before joining this class.

Volunteers - WelcomeAt the YMCA, your time and talent go a long way. Do you have a skill and can help the Y? We’re looking for you to tell us what you want to do. Do you have a hobby, teach a class, good at repairs - we have projects. Just want to help - stop on in. When you are involved with the Y, you help bring about lasting personal and social change. Your involvement with the Y will positively impact those in your community. Stop by the office and we’ll help you to help us. Volunteering helps people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes to live healthier lives. Your volunteer time builds a stronger community for all. Please note: background checks are required for all volunteers at Westwood YMCA.
