YMCA Activities

YMCA’s summer camp is about bringing people of different backgrounds together. This year is no different, 2008 camp activities begin on July 7 and ends August 30. In our efforts to meet the needs of our families we have introduced a bus pick-up service for Port of Spain. Kids will catch the bus at the Bus Stop between Royal Bank and Republic Bank, Independence Square. YMCA Camp pick-up starts at 7:30 am; the bus will be available every 15 minutes till 9:00 am.

Activities this year include art and craft, Karate, gymnastics, dance, drama and of course swimming. Weekly heritage field trips are planned for campers 3-13. Our main attraction each year is "Parents Night" where kids perform and show off all their newly learnt talent and skills as the sunsets on another successful YMCA Camp.
