Summer Camp Orientation May 7 at Waukegan Y
Families can learn all about enriching day camps that allow kids to discover who they are and what they can achieve this summer during a special orientation session Monday, May 7, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Northern Lake YMCA, 2000 Western Ave., Waukegan.
From swimming to craft projects and outdoor education, American Camp Association-accredited Y Day Camps, held at both facilities, offer a variety of fun and educational activities under the supervision of counsellors certified in first aid, CPR and AED.
Campers will build self-confidence, discover new skills, develop a respect for the outdoors and make new friends. They are divided into two age groups: grades K-4 and grades 5-8.
