GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)
General Camp Activities
Campers will participate in different fun-filled stations centered around Y Camp curriculum that is geared towards developing the full body, mind and spirit of each camper. Campers will have an opportunity to access their creative side by completing art projects, discovering the love of learning with science projects, discussing topics important to the group, promoting
a healthy & active lifestyle through field games, sports, and other fun camp activities. Activities vary by location. Please contact the Camp Director at your center if you have additional questions concerning camp activities.
Progression of Learning
Y Camp focuses on enriching each camper’s experience by helping recognize their talents, make lifelong friends, learn new skills, and understand the importance of living a healthy, active life. As campers grow and progress through the Y Camp program, they explore new aspects of camp.
Extended Care
During extended care, a selection of primarily low- key, supervised activities are provided allowing campers to engage in games, free play and reading; either in small groups or individually. Extended care provides opportunities for campers of different age groups to interact in activities together, allowing for friends and siblings to see each other.
Opening/Closing Ceremonies
Every day at the opening and closing of the camp program, campers gather for a short camp song/ cheer, a brief talk about the day, the character
value for the day, stretch time, skits performances, reminders of a few rules/regulations, and any special announcements.
