With the city I grew up in, YMCA camps are really quite popular. The thing is, parents in town didn't have a lot of cash to send their children away to costly wilderness camps, yet on top of that they wanted to give their children an opportunity to get fit and take advantage of the summer just how all children want to - by running around, swimming, playing sports, and generally goofing off. YMCA camp provided us the chance to do just that. Also see these Great Supply of Church Bulletins that can be helpful for the camp.
The very first time I actually joined YMCA camp, I was entering fifth grade as well as dreading the experience. I did not want to have to be away from home each day. I really liked to read, and wanted to use my summer vacation curled up with a book. Nevertheless, my parents wanted to see me to get in condition, hence they sent me off to the day camp.
YMCA camps wasn't much of a habit in my family. My older sister had truly enjoyed attending girl scout camp herself, and my big brother was a boy scout.
The main reason I went to YMCA camp was given that it was near and convenient, and didn't need me to sleep away. I'd spend the day there and then my parents would pick me up.
Although I might have chosen a more educational camp in that age, I ended up loving YMCA summer camps pretty much. I took to the water just like a duck, and was quickly made a part of the swimming team.
A lot of the other kids had more experience than I did, but it didn't take me that long to catch up with them, and also exceed their skill level. By the end of the summer, I'm one of the best swimmers in the whole area.
After that, I went to YMCA camps almost every single year. I truly loved to swim, and they allow me to enjoy time there in the swimming pool. Also, I got to do some crafts and arts. I even got to read for an hour every now and then, which has been by far my favorite pastime.
The camp kept me out of my mom's hair, and offered me a chance to exercise - something which I truly would not have done if had not been in that camp. Now that I'm raising my children, I think I might send them back to the same summer camp I used to go to.
