2016 Session Dates:July 17 - 23

This rustic style week will teach your child the ins and outs of roughing it outdoors. Led by YMCA Camp Kenan staff who specialize in wilderness skills, these campers will be taught via hands-on learning how
to safely make shelters in the wilderness, cook meals over a campfire, hike and traverse in the rough country, and be taught many other need-to-know camping and survival skills. Campers will spend each night sleeping out in tents and learning about nature. While at camp, the campers will also have time to participate in many resident camp activities such as rock climbing, aquatics, and athletics. Participants eat three meals a day, either in our mess hall or cooked out over a fire.

July 31 - August 6: Soccer Skills Camp
YMCA Member Rate: $375; Program Member Rate: $430
Proper form and technique do not come overnight. Practice makes perfect and our sports camps aim to provide plenty of time to learn new skills and improve existing abilities. Every day, campers will be able to scrimmage and try to put all of the above lessons into real time action. All drills and skills taught will be geared to help them get better. If a camper is a little more advanced, instructors will encourage them to take it to the next level and to help show them how it may be possible. Drills will include a variety of fun games so that campers will not get bored with the same old thing! Sports campers eat all meals with the rest of camp and sleep in cabins with the other resident campers. They will also have some opportunity to take advantage of free time activities to get a taste of traditional camp activities. For more information, email call 716.434.8887.
