Where Kids Can Be KidsThe C.W. Avery Family YMCA’s adaptive summer camp program is designed to provide individuals with special needs with access to a variety of recreational activities.
Designed for kids in grades 1-9, these one-week camps will feature indoor and outdoor recreational activities that will challenge participant’s body and mind. Through positive recreational experiences, participants will gain confidence through skill development and social engagement with other campers and YMCA staff. But most importantly, kids in the Y’s adaptive summer camp program will work toward a healthy mind, body and spirit while having a lot of fun!
Campers will need to bring a sack lunch and a healthy afternoon snack. Campers will have the opportunity to swim one day during the week. Participants must be able to care for their own personal care needs.
Camp Schedule:
June 13-17
June 27-July 1
July 18-22
Camp Times:
