After careful consideration of all requests, financial aid recipients will be notified on or before May 30, 2001. Kinder Camp introduces young children to summer day camp. Favorite themes include Outer Space, Home, Science and Nature, Animals, Myself, and Our Neighborhood. Counselors are experienced in working with small children. The program operates in the YMCA's pre-school classrooms.
Campers swim and learn in a small, warm pool.
Three classroom teachers, two swim instructors, and a lifeguard supervise children in the water. The YMCA believes in a nurturing approach to swimming. Children are never forced into the water. Everyone wears their suit to class. Before they know it, everyone is splashing happily.
