America!

Don't miss your chance to sign up for our On-Site Specialty camp, "America!", for next week!  We will be celebrating our nation's history through arts and crafts, games, and music.  We will also be going to King Putt on Wednesday for an awesome Off-Site Field Trip.  Be sure to stop by the front desk to register, as space is limited!  

Mark your calendar - the Y will be closed on Friday, July 4th, in observance of the holiday.  We hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July celebration!

Camp Late Night Friday, June 27th!

Looking for a sitter tomorrow night for your camper?  Look no further!  The Durango Hills Y is offering the first of our Camp Late Nights on Friday, June 27th, from 6:00-9:00 p.m.!

For your convenience, we will take care of signing your child out of camp at 6:00 for a fun-filled night of pizza, games, crafts, and a G-rated movie.  All this is available for only $15!  Be sure to stop by the front desk tomorrow morning to register.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Environment Adventure Camp Update

Attention all "Environment Adventure" campers!  We will be going horseback riding at Horses4Heroes, Inc. on Thursday!  We will also be able to visit their petting zoo, attend an educational seminar, and go on a horse-drawn wagon ride.  The bus will leave the Durango Hills Y at 12:15 p.m., so don't be late!

Another Week of Memories Is Complete!

Thank you for another great week of memory making and fun adventures!

Here are a few reminders to have the best week possible at Y day camp:

• Be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen before you come to camp, and bring extra with you to reapply throughout the day.
• Flip flops and sandals are great for the pool area, but are unsafe during other activities throughout the day.  Please be sure to wear tennis shoes or other closed-toe shoes to camp.
• Bring a water bottle--we want to be sure that all our campers stay healthy and hydrated.  

Also, don't forget to sign up for next week's on-site field trip, Creative Canvas, before Tuesday!

Have a fun and safe weekend, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Friday Assembly!

Don't miss out on seeing a snapshot of your child's camp experience this week during our Friday Assembly!

This weekly gathering of all campers and staff highlights what we've learned and the friendships we've built while attending Y camp. We will also find out who has earned the honor of "Camper of the Week" in each of the age groups. 

The fun starts at 3:00 p.m. in the gym, so don't be late! 

Catch a Wave!

Did you know that the Durango Hills YMCA offers off-site specialty camps?  This week, campers have the opportunity to beat the heat while visiting Wet 'n' Wild water park, splashing around in the Y water parks, and having a blast on a giant slip-n-slide during our fantastic "Catch a Wave" camp!

Be sure to check out our other off-site specialty camp options by visiting www.lasvegasymca.org/camp.

We hope to see you soon!

Your "Summer of Fun, Lifetime of Memories" Begins Tomorrow!

Don't forget to pack your swimming gear, two snacks, water bottle, and plenty of sunscreen.  Camp opens at 7:00 a.m., so don't be late!
