should
attend
summer
camp:
ADVENTURE:

all

days
spent
with new
friends.

FUN:

offer
fun,
stimulating
activities
that
engage
the body
and mind
by
encouraging
active
lifestyles
and
nutrition
with
healthy
snacks.
PERSONAL
GROWTH:
While
being
away
from the
routine
at home,
youth
have a
chance
to learn
new
skills,
and
develop
confidence
and
independence
by
taking
on new
responsibilities
and
challenges.
NEW
FRIENDSHIPS:
Amidst
the fun
of camp
games
and
activities.
Camp
offers a
unique
opportunity
for
youth to
branch
out and
be more
socially
confident.
MEMORIES:
Summer
camp is
an
unforgettable
experience.
It’s a
time of
discovery
and
self-improvement
that
stays
with
each
child
throughout
their
lives.
