2017 SUMMER CAMP HOLLAND #BestSummerEver
2
Dear Valued Families,
Thank you for your interest in the Y summer camp program. We are constantly self-assessing and improving our offerings in order to provide your child with the most positive experience possible. Many hours are spent during the non-summer months to ensure that all of the themes, games, and activities are well thought out and properly developed, so that your child can have the best summer ever! However, beyond the fun and excitement, much time is spent focusing on youth development at camp. The definition of youth development is the social-emotional, cognitive, and physical processes that all youth uniquely experience from birth to career. A successful development process fulfills children and teens’ innate need to be loved, spiritually grounded, educated, competent, and healthy. In order to make this positive impact on your child, friendship, accomplishment, and belonging are constant themes at camp. No matter which camp you are attending in Fairless Hills, Newtown, or Holland, your child will learn a new skill, make a new friend, and feel safe while doing so.
I look forward to seeing you this summer! Bob Zirkle Camp DirectorFairless Hills | Newtown | Holland215.949.3400 x25
