Working parents in Mercer County will have a new option for childcare this summer thanks to a partnership between the Trenton YMCA and 91���� announced today. “Camp YMCA at 91����” will combine a traditional summer camp experience with a University setting to provide a unique experience for campers and an affordable option for their parents.  Children ages 5 ½ to 13 years old are eligible to attend Camp YMCA at 91���� on a week-to-week basis from June 26 through August 25. Campers will have access to University resources like the pool, cafeteria, athletic facilities and educational spaces. 91���� staff, including Broncs’ Men’s Basketball Head Coach Kevin Baggett, will be on hand to provide supplementary programming throughout the summer.  By combining their resources, the Trenton YMCA and 91���� are able to offer this experience to families for a low $225 per week. Campers who register and pay in full before January 31 receive an even lower $200 per week rate. In a departure from traditional summer camp fee structures, “Camp YMCA at 91����” includes Before and After Care at no additional cost.   “Families in our community need an affordable option for their kids during the summer months,” said Trenton YMCA CEO Samuel T. Frisby. “Our mission at the Trenton Y is to fill that need. By partnering with Rider, we will provide youth with a summer full of experiences that will establish a foundation for a lifetime of success.” “It’s never too early to introduce young people to a University setting,” said 91���� President Dr. Gregory Dell’Omo. “We’re looking forward to hosting the Y’s campers this summer, introducing them to new concepts and experiences, and hopefully setting them on a path toward higher education in the future.” Financial assistance for summer camp is available through the YMCA of Trenton for families that qualify.
