Summer Camp
Summer Better Than Others
We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why, through the Y, today’s youth are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.
Y Summer Camp programs are tons of fun but also instructive for life. Our staff provides activities that have a positive, life-long impact on your child through:
- Developing self-confidence and independence
- Communicating core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, caring, faith and fun
- Creating lasting friendships and lifelong memories
- Encouraging learning and exploration
- Infusing fun and good health into daily activities
