The multidisciplinary approach is what makes Project YES unique. There are several disciplines represented, all of which have the possibility to evolve or be refined to meet the group needs Academic enrichment - The academic enrichment portion includes computer programs selected for literacy and math skills. Participants are taught basic computer skills for one or two sessions, then are shown how to use the software. Older children are introduced to word processing, desktop publishing, and illustration programs that they used to produce a camp newsletter. Fitness and health - Each morning begins with stretching and aerobic exercises.
Physical education consists of biking and swimming, which take place daily and weekly, respectively.
Safety education, as pertains to biking and swimming, accompanies these activities. In addition, dance instruction is included as another means of improving fitness. This occurs in a semi-formal, structured setting. Lesson plans typically address the children's relationship to family, friends, and others in the community. Drug awareness classes are mandatory.
