2 For over 160 years, the Y has been committed to preparing our children for the future, and we are as determined as ever to continue along that path. I cannot tell you how many children come through the doors of the Y, for either childcare or summer camp, and improve academically and socially as a direct result of their Y experience. We take great pride in nurturing the future of our children through programs that reinforce and extend opportunities to learn. The Y s summer camps are structured to prevent childhood summer learning loss, which many children experience following the end of an academic school year. Our camp programs promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), physical activity and are a place where children can be creative: they learn while having fun in the Y s structured camp environment. Y camps foster a child s mind, body and spirit in accordance with the Y s fundamental mission and responsibilities to the communities we serve. Our counselors are thoroughly screened, trained in CPR/First Aid, emergency preparedness and other safety measures. Beyond that, our counselors are prepared to give your child an enriched learning experience that they will not only enjoy, but also benefit from for the rest of their lives, both academically and socially. Whether it is the fun of singing camp songs, swimming, taking nature walks, participating in various sports, or the intellectual challenges of our STEAM-focused programs, the Y s counselors guide our campers in developing new interests, friends, and independence. As one of the Washington area s leading nonprofits with a focus on youth development, the Y knows the importance of nurturing every child so that they can meet their fullest potential. Our summer camp programs are designed with this idea in mind to make sure that the children we serve are prepared to succeed for years to come. Give your child a positive adventure and lasting education this summer by enrolling them in Y summer camps. It will be a healthy, fun and supportive learning experience from which they will not only benefit in several ways, but also want to return to again and again.
