Year Round Communication Blog

Dear Summer Camp Parents/Guardians,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing us to provide an awesome experience for your
child(ren) this Summer.  We would like to inform you that we will continue to use this blog as a form of Youth & Family communication throughout the school year.

We will regularly update the blog with One Day Camps, Winter Break Camps, Parent Night Outs and any additional Activities and Programs such as our Halloween "Chills and Thrills" event that you and your Family surely will not want to miss.

Sincerely,

The Heinrich Summer Camp Team

Afterschool Meal Program

Afterschool Meal Program Key Messages

·         The Y is offering an Afterschool Meal Program that provides children with learning enrichment activities, as well as nutritious meals and/or snacks in order to be healthy and succeed in school.

 

o    Through the Afterschool Meal Program, available at nearly 1,300 locations nationwide,  the Y is addressing hunger in communities by ensuring children have access to meals during out-of-school time, when they’re most at risk of going hungry.

o    The program provides learning enrichment activities and physical activity to keep minds and bodies active, while also serving healthy meals and/or snacks.

o    Thanks to generous support from the Walmart Foundation, the Y is better able to get important nutrition to kids in need.

 

·         When the school bell rings, many children are faced with hunger and do not know where their next meal will come from. The Y’s Afterschool Meal Program keeps kids well-nourished.

 

o    The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that nearly 50 million Americans – including more than 16 million children and teens younger than 18 – live with food insecurity.  

o    Children from low-income families are eligible to receive free or reduced-cost meals at school, but when the school day ends many of these children don’t know where their next meal will come from.

o    The Y will serve more children through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which feeds school-aged children during the week, on weekends and during school vacations.

 

·         The Y is dedicated to ensuring that kids in our communities have access to regular nutrition all year long.

 

o    The Y’s Afterschool Meal Program is part of a year-round effort to address child hunger. During the summer, the Y offered a Summer Food Program at more than 1,100 locations to keep youth healthy, active and well-nourished. The Y’s year-round goal is to serve 8 million healthy meals and snacks to 200,000 kids and teens.

o    Ys nationwide are providing healthy environments by incorporating healthy eating and physical activity standards into early childcare and afterschool programs.

o    As part of a long-time commitment to youth development, the Y nurtures the physical, mental and social-emotional development of youth. 

Parents Night Out beginning in September

Don't forget to register your Child(ren) for our Parents Night Out dates.  Please make sure to Register them before the day of the event so we can have the appropriate amount of snacks, crafts and staff.
