Irving Park YMCA Day Camp
Just Updated!! Day Camp 2010 Weekly Field Trips and Themes!!
YMCA day camps provide children with summer adventures that promote a healthy spirit, mind and body. Children spend time indoors and outdoors as experienced staff lead campers in a wide variety of activities each day, including arts and crafts, games, skits and songs, sports, swimming and weekly off-site field trips. In addition, we continue to integrate our healthy kid’s curriculum into our day camp programs. Children participate in weekly interactive workshops with doctors, dentists, nutritionists and athletes to gain basic knowledge on how to incorporate proper nutrition, exercise and positive self images into their everyday live
