Families are invited to celebrate the start of summer at the Meriden YMCA Family Fun Day on Sunday, June 7, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Mountain Mist Day Camp, 576 High Hill Road, Meriden.
This free community event offers an afternoon of outdoor fun and activities for children and families while providing an opportunity to learn about YMCA summer programs and camps.
Attendees can enjoy camp games with YMCA counselors, including foursquare, dodgeball, disc golf, and more. Families will also have the opportunity to swim in the pool, slide down the waterslide, challenge themselves on the ropes course and climbing tower, get their faces painted, and meet a friendly llama.
The event will also feature educational animal presentations from the Hungerford Nature Center and information about YMCA summer camps, programs, and scholarship opportunities. Families can register for summer camp, apply for camp scholarships, and enter prize drawings for YMCA memberships, camp sessions, classes, and other giveaways.
“This event is a great opportunity for families to experience all that our Mountain Mist Day Camp and Outdoor Center has to offer while enjoying a fun-filled afternoon together,” said John Benigni, CEO of the Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA. “We are excited to welcome the community and help families discover summer opportunities at the Y.”
Admission is free and open to both YMCA members and nonmembers. Parents or caregivers must remain with their children at all times; no drop-offs will be permitted.
Food will be available for purchase from the YMCA Seals Swim Team. Cash and Venmo will be accepted.
