Summer Fun In ‘21!
DAY CAMP
Summer Camp is a vital childhood experience and more important than ever. Turn off
the electronics because through play, kids learn to solve problems, make new friends,
and discover the world around them which helps them grow. With a variety of camp
electives ranging from Sports to STEM, energetic staff and daily special events the
Hamilton Area YMCA is the ideal environment for campers to make new friends, create
lifelong memories and experience Summer Fun in ’21!
OUR GOALS:
• Encourage each child to make friends and have fun in a safe
nurturing environment
• Broaden each child’s horizons with new and different experiences
ranging from the creative to the physical throughout a variety of
different camp options
• That each child learn to push beyond their limitations and learn what
they are truly capable of and in so doing, become inspired to reach
further
• To encourage creativity and imagination in each child
• Build strength of character, courage, determination, and focus
by encouraging sound decision making skills
• Teach children that their relationships and the larger community
benefit from their investment
• Encourage children to emulate positive role models in camp staff
• Encourage willingness to accept guidance when challenged with a
decision, giving each child the freedom to feel confident in their
choices
• Enhance respect for self, others and the natural world around them
