Thanks to the supporters of YMCA Camp Wa Wa Segowea!



Camp has started and soon (next week) we’ll be posting one blog per week, with a wrap-up of the previous week.   We’ll have pictures, more pictures and even more pictures that happened during the week and possibly the weekend as well!

Enrollment has increased over last year, but there’s still time to register your child for camp this summer!  Simply give Camp Director Kat Fitzpatrick a call at 413-229-9110 or send her an email to kfitzpatrick@cdymca.org.  There’s scholarship money available for those that qualify.   This scholarship money has been raised throughout the year including from our biggest fundraiser, the Annual Wa Wa Wally Waddle that took place in May.  It’s because of major sponsors of the Waddle like CAYA Restaurant in Staatsburg, NY, and Finnish Solutions in Poughkeepsie, NY that children can experience the wonder of nature at camp.  Campers have the opportunity to make new friends, learn to paddle a canoe or shoot a bow and arrow for the first time.

CAYA Restaurant is located in the Hudson Valley and is worth the trip!  It arguably has the best views of the Hudson Valley and the food is just as good!  It’s open for Dinner from 4pm on Monday thru Friday and Weekends start at noon.  Its’ café is open for lunch every day.   On Friday’s they have “Fish Fry Friday” with house battered fresh haddock.  Sounds delicious!

CAYA Restaurant on 5371 Albany Post Road in Staatsburg, NY.  See their menu on their website- www.cayarestaurant.com and visit them on Facebook-  http://www.facebook.com/pages/CAYA-Restaurant/101248576671165   Tell them Camp Wa Wa Segowea sent you!

Some pictures were taken before kids got there this past Sunday and thought we would share.  Enjoy!

                                        Shooting the staff picture was a little tough this year!


Which position to have them in?



Do we just show their feet?
