Camp Activities Abound at Hatboro Y

Don’t ask Adriana Burmeister to pick her favorite summer camp. There’s just too many to choose from.

As she fleshed out the vivid watercolor and colored pencil hues of her fish during a recent Art Camp at the , Adriana shared that she’s participated in “almost all” of the Y’s 24 week-long day camps. She’s made (healthy) carrot cake cupcakes in Crafts and Cooking Camp and designed a garden stone with the Phillies emblem.

Adriana is one of about 400 campers the Hatboro Area YMCA will host this summer in a variety of camps ranging from cheerleading, gymnastics, fashion, sports, fishing and hiking, leadership training for teens, and more, according to Hatboro Y Camp Director Mary Fannon.

Fannon said enrollment is up this year, but spots in many of the camps are still available. Camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, with extended care available until 6 p.m.

Camps are grouped by age, beginning at age 3 and continuing until age 16. To participate, campers must be YMCA members, Fannon said.

Jack Cattie, 8, of Upper Moreland has been coming to the Y’s camps for three years. Already he has a preferred counselor: Mr. Nick and a favored camp: Sports.

Of the sports offerings, which include flag football, soccer, baseball and kickball, said Jack said soccer is easily tops.

“It’s my favorite sport,” he said.
