A month into Spring means things are in full swing at Hazen. April break brought over 200 campers to our Vacation Day program. Whether they came for just a day, the whole week, or anything between, everyone had a blast! Warm weather allowed us to fully enjoy the week outdoors. Highlights of program were the multiple days climbing on the Alpine Tower, Archery, Geocaching, and the semi-successful but undeniably fun Salamander Hunt!
Spring Camp Weekend was also incredibly fun. These campers included a big mix of returners and those coming to Hazen for the first time. A number of our campers can now assume the title of a "Four Season Hazen Camper" after attending summer camp as well as the Fall Reunion and Winter Camp. Highlights of Spring Camp include Night Gaga, the Giant Swing, and a Hazen campfire!
The Hazen Year-Round Staff also spent a part of April traveling to three other north-east YMCA Overnight camps, visiting YMCA Camp Takodah and YMCA Camp Coniston in New Hampshire, as well as YMCA Camp Chingachgook in New York. It was a great learning and sharing trip. We each came home bursting with ideas and full of energy as we head into summer.
As the rest of Spring unfolds, we look forward to our many schools and community groups joining us for their Adventure Programs, Environmental Education and Team Building retreats.
