There may be snow on the ground today, but summer is fast approaching, and it's time to make summer camp plans for your kids.

The YMCA Camp Sandywoods in Tiverton is a great, fully accredited Monday to Friday day camp option that's close to home. 

Kids in grades K-8 are welcome and the program will be run by experienced camp staff from the Newport County YMCA. Camp Sandywoods will run for 10 weeks this summer, with early dropoff available for parents who need it.

There is so much for kids to see, do, and explore at Sandywoods - hiking trails, arts & crafts, music, a community garden, water activities, group sports and recreation, and much more. 

At $130 per week, and only $110 for YMCA members, it's an affordable option as well. Scholarships and extended payment plans are also available. Sign up for the whole season or just a week or two, whatever best suits your child and your family's summer schedule. More info at www.newportymca.org/schedules/SandywoodsCamp2013.pdf.
