Located at 144 Tices Lane, East Brunswick, Raritan Valley YMCA’s Camp Yomeca is more than just day camp. It teaches life skills in a progressive experience for ages 3-15. Activities include daily swim lessons from professional instructors, CATCH program games, which help kids become healthy and active for life, and experiences in science, art, nature and more.
At the Y, it is a top priority to create an environment where everyone is welcome and safe. It is a camp for everyone, where kids feel accepted and learn to accept others as well.
Camp Yomeca is also convenient for parents. Though regular camp hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., campers may be dropped off as early as 7 a.m. or picked up as late as 6:30 p.m. for no extra charge, with fun activities scheduled during the extended hours.
