By Jaodb Seamon Staff Intern GUILDERLAND — As it has for over 40 years, Camp Nassau, the summer day camp for boys and girls, will open July 1. The camp has been around just over 40 years, but this year things will be a little different. The Guilderland Community Center YMCA has been leasing the 80-acre camp from Ed Becker since last June, and they are now ready to start the 1996 summer experience of Camp Nassau. Becker is the owner of Camp Nassau and the Pet Hospital off Veeder Road in Guilderland. It's rare in life that you have a win-win situation »uch s a» this where everyone comes out on top,\ Becker said Tuesday afternoon while he prepared the grounds for an open house at the YMCA Camp Nassau this Saturday. The facility has been run suc- cessfully as a childrens camp since 1954, when Becker's father Ben designed and built Camp Nassau. There is no adversity (in the merger 'witE the; YMCA). The joining of foVbes- re>Jly comes down to ihe best-interest of the clients,\ he said. According to Capital District YMCA CEO John Flynn, Dr. Becker balled last summer with the desire to merge the day camp and the Community Cen- ter YMCA. After four months of talks, the decision was sanc- tioned by Becker. The property includes an Olympic size swimming pool, horse stables, two ponds, a Dollar $avers in this issue of playground, locker rooms, of- fices and a canteen. Although there is only one Camp Nassau, there are actually eight different week-long plans to accommodate three- to 15- year-olds. 'It's rare in life that you have a win-win...'

The traditional camp features sports such as soccer, basketball, swimming and fishing, including a rather intimidating climbing wall, similar to the one on the American Gladiators television show. For those children with an equine interest, there are the Rocking Horse Stables. In this program, the participants will receive riding instruction, gen- eral care instruction and exper- tise from the staff and visiting professionals. The instructors are all certified and follow guidelines set forth by the In- ternational Association for Horsemanship, Safety and Ed- ucation (C.H.A.). Aspects of tbe natural envi- ronment will be explored and examined in the science and nature camp. This program in- cludes plant and animal identi- fication and conservation awareness. There is also a traveling day camp for children in grades 5 to 7. Some of the trips planned for the summer include: rafting, rock climbing, hiking and visits to Sate parks and museums. The adventure camp program stresses cooperation, team skills, and respect through a competitive and non- competitive physical education curriculum. Future starving artists can get a head start in the art camp, which consists of painting and drawing instruction for beginners and children with more advanced skills. Junior thespians can joined the drama camp to learn about performance (acting, singing, dancing), or production (set de- sign and construction* cos- tumes), or playwriting. There is also a reading and writing, workshop available in the writers camp.

Camp director Lauren Pine Bernstein is looking forward to the new season with confidence. Her expectations are \for all the children and staff to have a spectacular, safe and enjoyable time,\she said. The open house this Saturday goes from 12 to 3 p.m. There will also be another open house on Sunday, May 5 at the location off Veeder Road. .^^ „,\^ *S**/ '^1K'^/ Answer: Smitty's prepared n n n XL IT Take~&~Bake Pizzas, Just Heat and Serve!
