MYC Summer Camp was a big success this year, with over 90 different youth throughout the summer! Over the 6-week program, campers enjoyed a full day UMass Extension, 4-H Youth Development Program STEAM program, a drone presentation from two Milford Special Operations officers, a swim safety class from Goldfish Swim School in Milford, an Air-Quailty presentation thanks to the Milford Board of Health and MassDEP, multiple trips to the YMCA Pool in Franklin, arts and crafts programming, fun Friday spirit days, MYC Feud, movie days and open gym and game room! Campers enjoyed going on 2 field trips a week! Some of our field trips included Mendon Lake, Silver Lake in Bellingham, ForeKicks, PINZ, Kimball Farm, Water Wizz, Canobie Lake Park, and Onset Beach! Thank you to Fisher Bus Company for getting us safely to our trips and to the Hockomock YMCA Pool for allowing us to come two days a week! Finally, thank you to all our amazing camp counselors who helped provide such a fun and safe environment for the campers!
