Summer will be here before you know it! It’s a critical out-of-school time when children and teens can benefit from enriched learning and new experiences. While summer should be a time of exploration and discovery, many youth lose exposure to activities that keep them moving and learning. At the Y, we believe that all children deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Camp takes children and teens outdoors to explore nature, discover new interests, be active, and to develop confidence, leadership, and social skills.
At the YMCA of Central Ohio, there is a camp program for
everyone! Through more than 20 day camps
and our overnight camp at YMCA Camp Willson, the Y continues to give youth an
enriching and safe experience. Our caring
staff and volunteers model positive values that help build their kid’s
character. Additionally, the Y gives young
people early work experience, employing 61,000 college-aged young adults as day
and resident camp leaders each year.
Nationally, the Y has been a leader in camping for more than
125 years and continues to be one of the largest providers of camp programs. Today, there are 1,920 day camps across the
country, 335 resident camps for youth and teens and 902 specialty camp programs
that meet the diverse needs of children and teens with disabilities and illnesses.
Thanks to the generosity of our members and the community,
the Y is able to provide financial support to families who may face economic
challenges in sending their child to camp.

ReplyDeleteMany Finnish non-governmental organizations arrange summer camps for children in a wide variety of age brackets. Major organizers of summer camps are the scouts, sport teams and the orthodox and evangelic-Lutheran churches. The concept of summer camps arose with the rapid post-WWII urbanization and industrialization Finland experienced. The reason behind this was that Finnish pedagogues of that period, influenced by the values of the largely agrarian pre-WWII society, were convinced that an urban lifestyle was harmful for the development of children. The idea behind summer camps was to ensure that children had experiences of the countryside, experiences that would aid in development into a decent citizen.
Summer is almost here, and the students of Hamilton and Wenham, MA will have an exciting option when it comes to summer camps – Mathnasium! During the summer, kids lose about two months of the skills they’ve gained throughout the school year. Take preventative measures now and enroll your child in a Mathnasium summer camp where they’ll be engaged by a program designed around their goals and ability level.
