Possible forms needed during camp: Permission to Administer Medication Form Alternate Pick-up Form Y Knots Camps nurture the potential of children by engaging them in many different activities which will help create lasting friendships, foster independence and instill our core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility - all while having a safe and exciting day! While at camp, your child will be captivated by creative play, music, storytelling and world cultures, as well as sports and art activities, all which compliment our weekly themes. We promote healthy living by introducing healthy eating concepts during camp activities and by providing the campers opportunities to stay active and busy on our onsite playground, gym and field. Your camper will develop self confidence and social skills through the many activities that fill their day. Educational entertainers, special event days and field trips are scheduled each session to coordinate with our weekly camp themes- such as Think Green!, Ocean Commotion and Once Upon a Kingdom. Daily activities are run by Camp Specialists and may include: Cooking, Sports, Science, Crafts, Reading, Drama and World Life. During daily swim instruction, the children are placed into level-appropriate groups and are taken one at a time for individual swim lessons. Where as all other activities are age-appropriate, swim lessons are based on the campers’ individual skill level. Many Senior Staff are year round employees at the South Mountain Y Child Care Center or local teachers. All of the staff is well trained and qualified, serving as positive role models for the campers. Your child will love our kid-friendly and creative program - you’ll love hearing about all of their adventures at the end of each day! This half-day camp is the first step in our progressive camp experience at our Y. While at this half day camp, your child will gain socialization, confidence and independence skills while participating in swim lessons, playground time, arts and craft projects and story time.
