Queens Ys Host Veterans Day Mini Camps for Youths

The Central Queens Y will host a Veterans Day trip for local schoolchildren to an indoor amusement center where they will be able to take part in a variety of activities, including laser tag.

The Y’s mini-camp, which is aimed at children in kindergarten through sixth grade, will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 11.

Attendees will travel to Elmsford’s Sportime USA, where they will be able to play laser tag, rock climb, try their hand at more than 150 arcade games, go on rides, take a swing at the site’s batting cages and drop by its pool hall.

The event will cost $55 for members of the Y’s after school program and $60 for nonmembers.

Parents can pay $2 extra if they need to drop their children off for the day’s early stay program, which runs from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., or late stay, which is from 5 p.m. to 6 pm.

The Y is located at 67-09 108th St. in Forest Hills.

And Little Neck’s Samuel Field Y, located at 58-20 Little Neck Parkway, will lead a trip to Brooklyn's Puppetworks on Veterans Day for a live puppet performance of “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.”

Drop off for the event begins at 8 a.m. and all children must be picked up that evening by 6 p.m. Children should bring a packed lunch with them.
