New experiences and activities continue to appear as progress is made with the COVID-19 pandemic. Suburban North Family YMCA, 880 Walnut St., Catasauqua, will be offering an 11-week summer camp from June 14 to Aug. 27 that aims to develop character, teach valuable skills and build strong bonds.

Youths ranging from the ages of 5 to 14 are welcome to participate in the summer camp, planned for 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. The camp is set at $150 per week for Y members and $175 per week for nonmembers. A three-day option is available.

Lunch will be provided for all campers every week.

The YMCA’s summer day camp will offer early bird times running from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. for $24 per week for Y members and nonmembers, and night owl times 4-6 p.m. per week set at $24 for Y members and nonmembers.

The camp hopes to create a fun-filled environment that will grow individuals as leaders. Every week has been handcrafted to deliver a different experience that opens the imagination and gives some giggles. Some weeks include Superheros & Storytellers, Treasure Hunt, Fun Steam Ahead and Color Craze.

Campers will remain on the facility grounds the entire time, with hourly activities scheduled and in-house field trips planned. Participants can expect to see cooking demonstrations, the Mad Science Guy, different animal visitors and a mining for gems moment. All campers, workers and visitors will follow the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s social-distancing guidelines.

A full-day preschool for children aged 3 to 5 will also be offered at Suburban North Family YMCA for $126 per week. The school day will run 6:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and is dedicated to building strong characters who possess considerable values. The curriculum-backed program will require a current immunization record, updated physical exam and completed registration packet.
