Triunfo YMCA Offers A Summer Camp for Every Age Group

April 14, 2011 - PRLog -- WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIF.--The Triunfo YMCA, serving Westlake Village, Agoura and Oak Park, offers a camp for every age group and interest. Summer camp runs from June 20 through August 19 at Willow Elementary School (29026 Laro Dr., Agoura Hills).

   "Y camps are tons of fun, but we also focus on personal growth, self respect and character building," says Chrissy Withers, Triunfo YMCA program director. "Not many other summer camps place such an emphasis on strengthening character."

    Each camp day is led by qualified counselors in a group setting, where campers participate in activities specific to age and gender. Major field trips and traveling camps are for older campers while younger campers take smaller local trips and spend time learning about themselves and others.

   Camp hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with extended care hours beginning from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Day camp is for kids entering kindergarten through eighth grade.

   The Triunfo Y is also hosting a resident camp from July 3 through 9 on Catalina Island. Camp Fox is for kids entering sixth through 12 grades. Days are spent kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, swimming and participating in archery, high and low rope challenges and campfires.

   To learn more about day and resident camps, as well as summer swim class schedules, contact the Triunfo YMCA at 818-707-9622 or go to http://www.sevymca.org.
