The dinosaurs have returned to the YMCA. Build them a Jurassic cave, make a lava light, and a dino mobile. Help us recreate a dinosaur with the bones you will find throughout the YMCA grounds. Don't fall in the lava pit! Be careful not to drop those dino eggs it will cause quite a mess. The ice age returns on Friday with some ice competitions and rescuing dinos from blocks of ice. Tattoos will be awarded for the true dino experts.

5. JUNGLE SURVIVOR July 14-18

This is your chance to see if you have the skills to be a competitor on survivor. First teams will be selected, and leaders will be chosen. Our leaders will guide us through several challenges. Some will require brains such as the puzzle, or words of wisdom. Sometimes skills will be require such as in the slingshot, torch challenge, or shrunken head round-up. But those who truly fear nothing will be tested by our "skin the fish", and "what's this" food challenges. Working together is the key to success. Having a strong stomach helps too. You will need to take a rest on you very own pillow.

6. CALIFORNIA DREAM'IN July 21-25

Let's head to the beach, but when we get there we have to prove that we belong. Of course we must have the correct attire, tye dyed shirts and cut offs. Have a little sand sculpture competition, beach volleyball, and empty the ocean. Maybe we can score some points with, pineapple alley, jellyfish catch, or sponge tag. The competition continues when we go on a shark hunt, and supply carry. Any way you look at it someone is going to get wet. Our homemade dream catcher will guarantee pleasant dreams under the stars. Come and see who will be” king of the beach.”
