Benefits of Summer Camp:
On the surface, summer day camp is a fun getaway for kids to help fill the time during summer break. But on a deeper level, it’s so much more. Summer camp is a supportive, creative, nurturing environment where kids will grow physically and emotionally, improving self-esteem. Kids also make new friends. Almost every camper says that camp helped them make friends and camp helped them get to know kids who were different from themselves. Campers bond through fun activities and challenges, helping them make memories that will last a lifetime.
At Y Day Camp, kids will learn new skills by being exposed to new situations and engaging curriculum. With new challenges, comes less screen time! Many parents struggle in the summer with getting their children off of computers and outside to play. Y camps are the perfect solution to this problem. Too much screen time can lead to boredom, sleep issues, eyesight difficulties and a sedentary summer – not at the Y! We’ll have your kiddo up, moving and grooving each and every day.
“My child has been going to YMCA Summer Day Camp since she was 6 and loves it more every year. Camp has taught her many important lessons about herself and others. The growth in her self-confidence has been measurable. She comes home standing tall and proud of her day’s accomplishments. Her amazing counselors have also taught her empathy and responsibility. She even says she wants to be a counselor when she grows up! I highly recommend camp for any child.”
