For many kids, Summer Day Camp is their "happy place." In fact, research shows that kids are happier after camp. As parents, we want our children to grow, be active, learn new things, make friends and be happy. YMCA Summer Day Camp is the perfect place for all of that to happen and more.
Here are six reasons they're happier after Summer Camp.
ENERGY
Camp energizes kids and gives them the chance to participate in many different activities and experiences like archery, sports, swimming, creative arts and more. They also get much-needed free time to play.
WIDE OPEN SPACES
They unplug from devices, relax and reconnect with nature at camp. Kids exchange screen time for fresh air, sunshine and laughs.
NEW SKILLS
Kids leave camp better than they were before. The variety of activities makes it easy for them to enhance their skills and even discover new ones.
CONFIDENCE & CHARACTER
Our nurturing environment helps them develop confidence, social skills and positive self-esteem. With diverse opportunities to succeed, camp provides just the boost kids need!
FRIENDSHIP
Camp is the place kids make lasting friendships. They might even make a best friend at camp.
CARING COUNSELORS
Kids love our summer camp staff, who are fun, nurturing and engaging. Trained to bring out the best in children, they make it their goal to delight kids with a camp experience they won’t forget.
