Defining fun is
easy at the YMCA because that’s what our camp is all about.
The camp day also concentrates on helping children develop
emotionally, socially and physically. At the YMCA, children
get the opportunity to explore the outdoors, learn new
skills, and interact with other children in a caring,
supervised environment.
When parents leave their children in the
care of others, it is important for them to know that their
children will be safe and supervised. At the YMCA, we select
our staff members very carefully and all staff members go
through an extensive training program. We do not “baby sit.
We teach and encourage children, helping them grow in mature
self-esteem and social confidence.
