Adventure and Exploration

 

 

Every child deserves to reach their full potential and winter break is unique in that kids can focus on themselves and not what’s happening at home or at school. Building independence and exploring who they are, at Winter Break kids forge friendships and learn new skills through adventure and exploration, all while discovering the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Maintain Healthy Lifestyle

 

 

During school breaks, it’s easy for kids to become sedentary. In the world of video games, mobile apps, and on-demand entertainment, it’s even more important that kids are kept active while away from school. At YMCA Winter Break Camp, we create and host fun activities to keep kids up and moving every day – ensuring that they get plenty of exercise, even if they don’t notice it.

Sense of Belonging

 

 

Being a kid can be a challenging path to navigate but being at camp can help them throughout their journey. Silly songs and chants, fun nicknames, secret handshakes and jokes – each of these serves kids by giving them the chance to feel like they belong. Instead of possibly feeling like an outsider, campers develop a common sense of purpose and feel connected to a larger group.
