Session 2

All-Camp Theme: Community Helpers
Ages 5-11

This week is all about the everyday heroes who make our world a better place. Explore roles like firefighters, nurses, teachers, and more through hands-on activities, visits from special guests, and projects that highlight kindness and helping others.

 

Leaders-in-Training (LIT) Program
Ages 12 - 14

The Leader-in-Training program allows older campers to build leadership skills and assume some counselor responsibilities while still participating in their favorite camp activities. Camp LITs will get the chance to choose specialized tracks that expose them to their favorite aspect of summer. LIT curriculum includes leadership skills, social and emotional learning, the development of the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. The LIT program follows the same schedule and themes as the general sessions but offering varies per session at each location.
