Art & Humanities

The structure of our Summer Day Camp programs allows for many needed opportunities for educational enrichment, in particular the visual and dramatic arts.
Because of our ability to invest more time towards engaging children into projects, we are able to involve many different intelligences, such as interpersonal, environmental, and kinetic, as well as utilize cross-curricular learning to involve the children in multi-dimensional artistic experiences.
Children in grades 1-5 spend approximately 1/2 hour-45 minutes per day experiencing arts & humanities in our YMCA programs.
The majority of the children's time is spent learning by doing hands on lessons.
