We are so excited to announce our 2022 Summer Day Camps!
About YMCA Summer Day Camps
YMCA Summer Day Camps are so much more than fun in the sun! Our camps are structured around active living, and recreation with opportunities for campers to learn new skills, engage their imaginations, and have fun!
YMCA Summer Day Camp activities are planned with certain outcomes in mind:
- To play and have fun;
- To build positive relationships and feel a sense of community;
- To promote physical activity and well-being;
- To support children’s natural curiosity and interests;
- To be challenged or learn something new
Swim Camp
Let’s make a splash out of summer! Swim camp is the perfect fit for the swimming fanatic looking to improve their skills. Daily swim instruction is provided by certified instructors based on the YMCA Learn to Swim Star Programs. Campers can earn a full swim level within the week, while having fun, and making new friends! Other camp activities include co-operative games, outdoor activities, and creative arts.
*Please provide current swim level certification upon registration.
Skills Lab
This camp will encourage Campers to explore all sport areas, and help develop a sense of physical literacy. Focus will be on throwing, catching, jumping, striking, running, kicking, agility, balance, and coordination. Games and activities will have your child learning fundamental movement skills in a setting where playing as an individual and as a team is encouraged.
Art F.O.R.M.S
This camp will provide children the opportunity to be creative and express themselves with the use of found objects, and reusable materials. Children will explore a wide range of art and craft endeavors over the course of the week; including drawing, painting, and sculpting – all with an up-cycle twist!
Quest
To go on a quest is to seek something great. Throughout the week, campers will be on a whirlwind adventure both indoors and outdoors. Spending time learning outdoor education while participating in scavenger hunts and brain teasers! By the end of the week, Campers will be equipped with all the tools they need for any quest they may embark on in the future. Indiana Jones, watch out!
Disaster Island
In this week, Campers will need to endure the elements on a deserted island. From natural disasters to enemy forces, friends and foes alike will compete throughout the week in various logic, problem solving, endurance, and strength activities. Watch out, you never know what’s coming your way!
Artful Antics
Creativity gets silly! Campers will use the arts as a means of self-expression and creative development; all while getting messy and having fun! Projects will include 2D and 3D visual artworks, drama, music, dance and storytelling.
