Summer Camp Tradition Continues at Camp Yomeca

Summer camp is an American tradition and a staple of YMCA services. For decades, summer camp has been building character and teaching important lessons to American kids. And for New Jersey residents in the East Brunswick area, that tradition continues this summer at the Raritan Valley YMCA. Accredited by the American Camp Association, RVY’s Camp Yomeca combines a great environment for children, combined with great convenience and flexibility for parents.

Camp Yomeca activities (sports, crafts, dance, drama, outdoor skills, nature exploration, swimming, reading, science) give children a chance to develop skills and self-confidence away from home, in a safe, supporting, welcoming, accepting environment supervised by responsible and caring adults.

Parents may register their kids for each week (session) individually, paying only for the weeks they need. Early drop-off and late pick-up lets parents drop their kids off any time between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and pick up between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Parents can also feel secure knowing that Camp Yomeca has been consistently reaccredited by the ACA, meaning it always meets high standards of health, safety, and program quality.
