It's 5 months and a few days and counting down! That's right, the first day of the summer season of 2012 is quickly approaching, and it can't get here soon enough! The temperature is a chilly one today at Camp Segowea, with a high of 12 degrees and a bit of wind coming off Harmon Pond. It's hard to believe in just 5 short months, campers will be swimming, shooting for a bullseye in archery and enjoying a chance to go sailing. Speaking of campers, Camp Director Kat Fitzpatrick says there's already more than 25 campers signed up for the summer! Are you registered yet? Don't wait till the last minute!
Simply go to the CDYMCA website and register today.

There are five months, but time goes quickly, and by registering now, you can be assured of your spot in the sessions you want. First session begins on June 24th and camp runs weekly sessions until the last day, August 24th. Kat mentioned she's also busy coordinating the staff for the summer, already hiring a couple of international counselors! If you know someone that lives and loves to have a positive impact on children, be a leader in every way, and wants to have fun all summer long, have them contact Camp Director Kat Fitzpatrick at kfitzpatrick@cdymca.org or (518) 656-9462 ext. 6632. Maybe someone you know is looking for an internship for the summer after the school year? An article in USA Today suggests you go to camp!- http://www.usatodayeducate.com/staging/index.php/blog/opinion-skip-the-internship-go-to-camp
Until the summer gets here, the events surrounding camp are piling up. In the months of January and February, we'll continue to have open registrations for camp. The group of volunteers that oversee the camp, called Smith Park, are holding their monthly board meetings, and we're busy planning the spring events of the Open Houses and Work Weekends. A couple of spring fundraisers for camp, the Segowea 64 and the Wa Wa Wally Waddle, are in the planning stages as well as we speak. Details will be coming soon on those happenings.
It's January and there's still time to get the 2012 Camp Calendar! It's very simple to get and reasonably priced too. They're just $10 and available now at www.friendsofsegowea.org. Some of the pictures might even have been taken by campers that took the popular photography class! Even more pictures taken by the class are below. Enjoy!
Please also visit us on our Facebook page. There's at least one picture posted every day as well as some other fun items. http://www.facebook.com/YMCACampWaWaSegowea.
Thanks and see you at camp!
