TRI-CITIES FAMILY CAMP at CAMP ARROYO
June 8-10, 2012

Be part of a brand new tradition to kick off summer right! The YMCA has been providing fun, memorable and impactful camping programs for over 125 years. The Tri-Cities are partnering with the YMCA of the East Bay to offer a fun-filled Family Camp just for you, at Camp Arroyo.

Located in the rolling hills of Livermore, Camp Arroyo provides unique opportunities for families to get away from it all without the long drive. Having just opened in 2001, Camp Arroyo provides modern day comfort with cabins that sleep up to 12 people and feature attached bathrooms, heat and air conditioning and bunks with thick mattresses. Fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces throughout camp allow for fun-filled programs, as well as places to just sit back and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Family Camp will begin with dinner Friday night, served from 6:30-7:15, followed by fun activities to help campers get to know each other. The rest of the weekend will offer a variety of activities including arts & crafts, sports & games, hikes, swimming & fun at the pool, and even the opportunity to climb the 35 foot rock wall. Activities can be enjoyed by families together, or individual family members independently, and of course, you can always choose to do nothing and just relax. In the evening, enjoy camp-wide activities like a traditional campfire, family games & more. The weekend will end with a delicious brunch served at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN and space is limited, so register early. Online registration is not available for this program.
