RASCALS
For campers entering Pre- K and Kindergarten
This camp is geared for those first time campers that
are entering Pre-K & Kindergarten in September.
Based out of the YMCA KinderHouse, the Rascals, as
they are better known as, will participate in traditional
camp activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and
field games. Rascals will also learn the meaning of
teamwork, sharing, and independence under the
watchful eyes of our caring staff. This camp is a great
introduction to Camp Ulbrich in a safe, lower ratio,
fun, and nurturing environment.
