The last two days will be spent testing those skills on some real world environment – real rock! Climbing and Safety equipment are provided.

 

Water Adventure

Kids get fully immersed in water sports and activities in this program. Each day brings new water experiences “soaked” in adventure such as canoeing, kayaking, and much more! Participants must bring an extra set of dry clothes.

 



Our children look forward to the Y summer program every week.  They meet new friends, go on fantastic field trips, and participate in group activities where they are learning, even when they don't know it.  The best part is, I don't have to worry about my kids while I'm at work -  I know my kids are safe having positive interactions with peers, and not at home watching television.
