YMCA 2023 Summer Day Camp The Greater Scranton YMCA’s 2023 Summer Day Camp Program kicks-off on June 12th! Early bird registration closes on March 24, 2023. To register for Summer Day Camp, visit the Y’s facility in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. To learn more about the program, check out the 2023 Summer Day Camp Handbook! It is the goal of our YMCA to provide a healthy, safe and secure environment for all day camp participants. The YMCA teaches us core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Children who attend the program are expected to follow the behavior guidelines and to interact appropriately in a group setting. The goal of the Greater Scranton YMCA programs is to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Our summer camp program reflects these values and is designed to help our campers grow mentally, physically and spiritually within a fun camp environment. Our trained camp staff leads campers in challenging activities that help your child grow and learn. The goals and principles of the Summer Camp Program are firmly based on the specific objectives from which our programs operate. We work on developing these principles within each child and in how they interact and develop relationships with others. The principles of Summer Camp are: The achievement of personal growth in spirit, mind and bodyThe formation and practice of socially constructive habits and attitudesThe development of an appreciation of nature and a love of the outdoor environmentThe strengthening of family relationships through parent/guardian participationTo continue educational development through our Summer Learning Program Character Development: At the Greater Scranton YMCA, character development and values are part of who we are. The Y is committed to embracing and demonstrating character through our four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Our goal is to challenge the children and staff to believe in and act on these positive values. Caring: To love others; to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others. Honesty: To tell the truth; to act in such a way that you are worthy of trust; to have integrity; making sure your choices match your values. Respect: To treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person, including yourself Responsibility: To do what is right; what you ought to do; to be accountable for your behaviors and obligations. The Greater Scranton YMCA is proud to incorporate QUEST into its Summer Day Camp Curriculum. As staying mentally engaged during the three-month summer educational gap is crucial to the continued academic development of students, QUEST was created to help close the achievement gap. The innovative curriculum offers participants unique academic opportunities while engaging in increased social engagement. This combination provides the opportunity for students to meet, and sometimes exceed, grade level expectations come the beginning of their next school year. QUEST is generously supported by businesses contributing to the EITC Program.
