Programs & Camps

Camping, like many Y programs, is about learning skills, developing character and making friends. But few environments are as special as camp, where kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group as they engage in physical, social and educational activities. Camping teaches self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of camp fires, bugle calls, canoeing, archery, talent shows, and meaningful relationships. Y counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper.
Early Childhood Education/Preschool
We believe that all children are highly intelligent and capable of learning. All children are unique individuals and deserve respect as a child and as a person. All children should be proud of their culture, as well as respect and relate to other cultures around them. Instilling and nurturing these qualities within each individual child will enable them to become life long learners and outstanding citizens of tomorrow.
School Age Childcare
Our goals and objectives as child development providers are to contribute to the child’s total development. We are sensitive to the fact that developmental ability and personalities can vary widely at any age. We help children to build self-control by learning to follow rules, sharing, taking turns, and working in a group. All in all, our goal is for each child to be able to grow physically, emotionally, socially, and mentally.
