WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

OUR YMCA MISSION The YMCA of Greater New York is a community-

based service organization which promotes

positive values through programs that build spirit,

mind, and body, welcoming all people with a focus

on youth.

OUR VALUES Caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

YMCA DAY CAMP OBJECTIVES The Flatbush YMCA Summer Day Camp helps

campers ages 4 years old and teens ages 13-14

years old grow mentally and physically by

participating in challenging activities in both small

and large group settings under the supervision of a

caring and well trained staff.

SUMMER LEARNING To succeed in school and life, children and young

adults need ongoing opportunities to learn and

practice essential skills. This is especially true

during the summer months when children lose much

of what they learn during the school year.

YMCA of Greater New York Day Camps provide high

-quality summer learning initiatives that give chil-

dren a variety of ways to improve reading and math

skills and explore music, drama, art and sports.

Through fun, themed curriculum that

incorporates key academic components, children

will practice and further their academic skills, learn

to plan and create projects, learn

teamwork and develop new skills. To inspire

reading, our program will provide books

recommended by the Department of Education for

summer reading.
