On Sunday, April 17 from 2-5 pm the Camp Tecumseh YMCA Day Camp staff is inviting any interested families to stop by for an Open House.  Attendees will get the chance to tour around camp, meet the Day Camp Counselors, ask the Director questions and try some of the Day Camp activities.  We’ll have mini-golf, face painting, tractor rides, black hole slide, rock climbing and more available for guests to try.  There will also be drawings to win Camp Tecumseh apparel!  No registration or RSVP is required for the open house.

Registration for Day Camp is currently open and some weeks are filling up quickly.  You can Register Online, or visit our website for more information.

For questions, please feel free to contact Joel Sieplinga, Day Camp Director (765-564-2898 x309).

March 1 marked the start of registration for
Day Camp 2011 at Camp Tecumseh YMCA!

Since 1974 Camp Tecumseh has welcomed youngsters from around Central Indiana to a week of Day Camp.  Boys and Girls ages 5-12 come each summer to make new friends, learn new skills and have a great time.  Activities like GaGa, Human Foosball, the Black Hole, nature hikes, Gold Rush, World Service Carnival, horseback rides, swimming and more will keep campers active and excited for each day.

Our Day Camp Counselors are “Professional Role Models” who are trained to make sure that campers create friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

Our Parents Say it Best:

“Great camp!  Very friendly staff and great activities.  The kids are already looking forward to next year.”

“Made friends.  Loved everything about camp-entire week was a great experience!”

You can register online here or visit our website for more information.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call (765-564-2898) or email Joel Sieplinga, Day Camp Director.

On Sunday, April 18, we invited the community to our annual Day Camp Open House.  We could not have asked for better weather and approximately 160 people came out to enjoy the beautiful day!

15 Day Camp Counselors also came out to meet the families and help with Mini Golf, the Black Hole, Mt. Wood, Facepainting and Tractor Rides.  Guests got the opportunity to tour around camp, have their questions answered, and also enjoy some free pizza (courtesy of Toppers Pizza of West Lafayette).  We also had quite a few new campers register for this summer’s Day Camp!

We want to thank everyone who joined us for a great day.  If you didn’t have the opportunity to come to the Open House but have questions or would like to see camp for yourself, feel free to contact me (Joel, the Day Camp Director) at 765-564-2898 x309.  I am always happy to give tours and answer questions.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to register for Day Camp, there’s still time.  You can Register Online or Print A Registration Form to mail in.

Every year on March 1, something exciting happens–we begin registering for Day Camp!  This year is no exception, registration is now open for Camp Tecumseh Day Camp 2010.

This year will once again feature some “old favorites” of Day Camp, including the black hole, archery, bb guns, climbing, arts & crafts, World Service Carnival and Gold Rush.  We’ve also added in new activities for all ages, revised and added World Service Activities and created a Thursday Dress-Up Day to go along with the weekly theme.

We are also excited to be welcoming back a number of counselors from last year and we have a terrific staff overall!  Meetings have already begun with staff to plan out new unit activities, look at creative craft ideas and discuss how to make Day Camp even better!  During weeks 4 and 5, we’ve also added in an Equestrian Day Camp for campers ages 11-12.

This year you can register for Day Camp by either printing off a registration form and mailing/faxing it back in, or registering online.  Both options are available on our website at www.camptecumseh.org/daycamp.

Even the rain couldn’t stop us on Sunday.

Despite the cold and rain, about 50 people stopped by camp on Sunday to find out more about Day Camp.  Visitors tried their hands at Mini Golf, had their faces painted, roasted marshmallows and took tours.  About 25 summer Day Camp staff were on site to answer questions and help kids and parents alike try out the Black Hole, Climbing Wall and Archery.

If you missed out on the Open House, and would like more information or a tour, feel free to contact Day Camp Director Joel (765-564-2898 x309) to setup a tour or ask any questions.

Slide, climb, or just hangout with friends! The Clubhouse is a wonderful new play area near the new Day Camp entrance.  It is situated so it can also be used by campers waiting for trail rides or visiting the mini-farm. Look for it between the Creative Arts Center and River Stables.
