The YMCA Summer Camp at 101 Highland Avenue has 140 campers this summer, ranging from 5 to 8 years old (the juniors) and 9 to 14 years old (the seniors). Jackie Rivera, the Summer Day Care Director, said the campers have a wide array of activities to choose from, including swimming, basketball, soccer, kickball, movies, and arts and crafts.

She said the groups split their time between the YMCA’s gymnasium, game room and pool, as well as Conway Park, where the campers receive instruction from the Mass Youth Soccer Association. The children also enjoy two to three all-day field trips per week, she said, including outings to state parks, museums, beaches and sporting events.

The camp employs 20 counselors for the campers and runs from June 23 to August 22.
