QUINCY & CANTON

Summer Day Camp2012 Calendar

Brendan Casey is the Director of Day Camps for the QuincyBranch and oversees both our Quincy and Canton sites.

Brendan has been with the Y since 2004, primarily in a campleadership capacity. He is no stranger to summer camp.

Starting as a three year old camper, he has worked his waythrough the camper, Counselor in Training, Counselor and

Director ranks — not missing a summer since his first experience 29 years ago. Brendan is a graduate of BucknellUniversity and is currently pursuing a Masters of Education,

with a concentration in Experiential Learning.

Welcome to Camp! — From the Director

Each summer at the South Shore YMCA, Summer Day Camps

are specifically designed to provide a safe and fun environment

to offer opportunities for young people to try new things, learn,

grow, and make friendships that last forever. Our philosophy

is that we must make the most of our opportunity to have a positive influence

on the lives of children. Everything we do here at camp—every activity we

lead, every decision we make, every policy we apply—is guided by the firm

belief that we are responsible for the children we lead. We are responsible

for showing them how to be honest, caring, respectful, and responsible

members of the community.

Sure, camp is a time to enjoy the warm summer sun, hang out with friends,

swim, be active and take part in some pretty cool activities, but there’s more

hiding behind the curtain. Camp is a place for children to make friends, to

try new things, to explore, to take risks, to actively use their imagination and

to be themselves. Add the support and encouragement of positive adult

role models, and all these ingredients come together to boost confidence,

self-esteem, social skills, and overall emotional intelligence.

Whether you are a seasoned camper, new to the South Shore YMCA

Summer Day Camps, or to the camp experience, we welcome you and look

forward to another fantastic summer!

Q. What do the kids do during the day?A. Traditional Day Camp groups rotate between a variety ofactivities over the course of a day such as swimming, arts &crafts, sports, new games, drama, teambuilding, and other groupactivities. We have a different theme in place every week, andmost of the daily activities revolve around this theme. On Fridays,we try and do a lot of camp-wide special events that wrap up ourweek’s theme.

Sports and Specialty Camps have a specific area of focus eachweek. Led by specialized staff, campers spend half of the day workingon learning new skills and concepts relevant to the specific camp.During the other half of the day, campers take part in some of theTraditional Day Camp activities mentioned above.

Q. Will my children learn how to swim? A. At the South Shore YMCA Summer Day Camps we run a ‘Go ForGreen’ modified instructional swim. Children will be evaluated at thebeginning of each week and will be split into red, yellow and greengroups, based on swimming ability. Lessons are led by certified swiminstructors with assistance from counselors. Lessons will take placefor the first half of each swim period. During the second half, childrenhave the ability to either practice their newly learned skills or just enjoythe water. Please note that these lessons are not the same as standardlessons by the YMCA but modified to work effectively for camp.

Q. My child can’t swim!! Is that OK?A. Absolutely. There are always a group of campers who have never beenswimming before and our staff is ready to help. In addition to bubbles, noodlesand other flotation devices, camp staff will work with campers to help themgain comfort in the water and improve their swimming. In addition to oursummer camp, the South Shore YMCA also offers instructional swimminglessons throughout the summer. You may enhance your child’s swimmingability by enrolling them in one of these classes outside of camp time.

Q. When and what is Parent/Camper Welcome Night?

A. Parent/Camper Welcome Night will be held on Friday June 22nd from5:00-6:30 p.m. at both our Quincy and Canton sites. Families will havethe opportunity to meet the staff, tour the facility, and have anylast minute questions answered. In addition, at Welcome Night,families will be given the opportunity to “pre-check-in” for the firstday of camp. If your camper’s paperwork and payments are up to date,you will be given a pass giving you the ability to skip the first daycheck-in line on June 25th.

Q. What should my child wear to camp?A. The most important thing when getting ready in the morning is tomake sure the camper is comfortable for the day’s weather. In addition,closed-toed shoes should be worn every day, as campers will be veryactive throughout the day. Another handy rule of thumb when gettingready for camp is “Don’t dress in your best, cause you may get a mess.”
