Great Summers Start at The Greater Scranton YMCA

Registration is open for Summer Day Camp at the Greater Scranton YMCA. The 2022Summer Day Camp Program will begin June 13th.

Day camp at the Y provides kids with adventure, healthy fun, personal growth and friendships that can take a so-so summer and turn it into a memory that lasts a lifetime. The Greater Scranton YMCA’s Summer Day Camp provides a welcoming environment for kids where they can belong, build relationships, develop character and discover their potential.

“The Greater Scranton YMCA believes all kids deserve the chance to experience summer camp,”said Trish Fisher, President & CEO, Greater Scranton YMCA. “From physical fitness to summer learning and from enrichment activities to social engagement, our summer day camp program provides opportunities for all children to learn, grow and thrive.As a charity, we turn no one away for an inability to pay and are proud to provide financial assistance to families in need.”

The Greater Scranton YMCA will incorporate summer learning into its Summer Day Camp Program through QUEST. As staying mentally engaged during the three-month educational gap is crucial to the continued academic development of students, QUEST was created to help bridge the gap between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. Certified teachers cover science, math, reading comprehension and more through hands-on projects. The program is offered to summer day campers in kindergarten through eighth grades and is integrated into their daily curriculum.
