FUN WITH A PURPOSE It’s been proven that children who engage in summer
camp experiences are appropriately challenged during the summer months
and exposed to learning opportunities that keep their minds sharp while
having fun. Y Camp is one of the best ways to combat summer learning loss
to help keep children on track in school and beyond.

CAMP THEME WEEK DESCRIPTIONS
Cooking Cultures
Expand your mind and
taste buds by cooking
different foods from all
around the world. From
building your own chef’s
hat, to creating delicious
and nutritious snacks. At
Cooking camp, each day is
a different theme – from
Italian food to Mexican
food….we’re sure to have
a tasty fun time.
Nature Gone Wild
It’s time to get our Zen
on! Nature week is
dedicated to exploring
and learning about the
beautiful earth that we
inhabit. This week is full
of hiking, yoga, crafts in
up-cycling, and learning
about other animals we
share our planet with.
The Ocean Depths
Dive into a world of
hidden treasures, sea
creatures and a wave of
fun! Let’s learn about the
challenger deep and what
we can create with the
sand of the ocean.
Island Fun
Bring your hula hoops and
apples causes we’re having a luau! We’ll be visiting
a fun island invented by
campers themselves.
Explore the rich culture
and values important to
the people living at the Y
Island. Aloha!
Holidays in July
We’ll spend a week reliving and Celebrating the
most memorable times of
the year!
Color Crazy
Color me crazy!!! This
week we will learn to
appreciate all the colors
of the world. Join us as
we try to create our own
colors and try to make
our own crayons, as we
go on a mission to make
this world a more colorful
place.
Heart of a Champion
In life the Victor is not
always a champion. It
takes more than winning
to be a champion. We will
battle through adversity
together and triumph
through values of caring,
honesty, respect and
responsibility. This week
we will not come out with
an accolade but, with a
heart of a CHAMPION! ...
(Rawr!!!)
To Infinity and Beyond!
To infinity and beyond as
we search for Moon rocks,
create space crafts and
explore the planets.
California Adventures
The golden week! Join us
as we set sail through the
California Coast and hike
through our state parks.
Help us mine for gold and
fish for golden trout.
Time Traveler
Let’s go back in time.
From sock hops and
bell bottoms to Y2K
and selfies!
Inventor’s Workshop
Put your inventions to the
ultimate test! Take designs
that you and others create
- inspired by the minds
and methods of the greatest inventors - and put
them to the ultimate test.
