CAMP SARGENT OVERVIEW:
Director Randy Menken, rmenken@nmymca.org

For the 2008 summer, some BIG additions have been added to benefit every camper and parent! See the "What's New" section below. Camp Sargent offers all the joy of day camping as well as new and exciting adventures and friendships which have been experienced by children in the Greater Nashua area for 84 years. Our staff is dedicated to providing a fun and safe atmosphere for your child. Our counselors recognize what a positive camp experience means to a child. All staff are CPR and First Aid certified and complete a week long orientation which covers various adolescent behavioral issues, small group activities and rainy day activites, to name a few. Our health staff is CPR/FPR certified as well as Red Cross certified in responding to emergencies, which follow the NHDES guidelines. For questions, comments or concerns, please contact Director Randy Menken at 881-7778 before the start of the camp season or 880-4845 during the camp season, or rmenken@nmymca.org anytime.

PLEASE NOTE:

Swim "lessons" are held in the mornings for campers who choose to swim and "free" swim is in the afternoons. Due to the high volume of campers and the limited amount of space for activities, not all children will have the opportunity to participate in each activity every day. Tuition for specialty camps is based on supplies, equipment, cost of field trips, guest speakers/presentations, and bussing.

Pre/Post Camp Care for Camp Sargent and Bus transportation is available at an additional fee.


Campers should bring a water bottle, non-refrigerated lunch, snack, swim suit, towel, sunblock, backpack or zipped bag for clothing. Campers should wear comfortable clothing and sneakers. Please NO sandals. Campers should NOT bring personal items such as toys, games, money and jewelry.
