OUR CAUSE
We believe that lasting personal change can only happen when we all work together to invest in our children, our health, and our
neighbors. That’s why, at the YMCA, strengthening community is our cause and passion. Every day, we work side-by-side with
our neighbors to make sure that regardless of age, income or background, everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and
thrive.
The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee Day Camp is focused on creating memories, building relationships, and fostering a sense
of belonging through personal achievement. Our concentrated vision is to bridge the gap of summer learning loss through a
variety of fun activities along with promoting character development. Raising the bar one summer at a time.

each group.

A child’s readiness for school is multi-faceted, encompassing the whole range
of physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive skills that children need
to thrive.
In the morning your camper will enjoy a morning of four structured cognitive
lessons that resemble the rules and culture of school along with four “brain
breaks”. The afternoon will focus on social and emotional skill building in
the camp environment. School readiness campers
will be divided into groups by age with activities
appropriate to the interests and needs of each
group.
