Summer's Cooler at the YMCA
Teen REACH (Responsibility, Education, Achievement, Caring, and Hope) Camp is a FREE summer day camp program for junior high school students in Joliet and the surrounding communities. At Teen REACH Camp, students will learn to respect themselves and others, work out their differences, and discover the value of true friendship. Campers will also enjoy up to 10 weeks of summer fun full of swimming, sports, outdoor exploration, field trips, and more. Teen REACH Summer Day Camp is made possible thanks to a generous Department of Human Services grant from the State of Illinois.
