NH Overnight Camps
The YMCA of Greater Boston Camping Services (Overnight Camps) branch will be having campers and staff from the YMCA of Tokyo coming to North Woods and Pleasant Valley camps for session 4 which begins on Sunday, August 9th. Our goal is for the kids to have an “American Experience”. Part of that experience involves spending time with an American family. We are looking for up to 20 families with kids who attend either Pleasant Valley or North Woods camp, to host a camper or staff member for 2 nights prior to camp (Friday, August 7). We would like to make certain that the host family has kids home during this time, but not necessarily going to session 4. We simply ask that your family show them a good time.
