Program Highlights

Camp with a choice! Children are given a variety of activities each day in which they can participate. Each camper chooses those activities in which they want to participate, and for how long. Programs vary daily.

Summer Day Camp will be held at Niagara Street School combining a great community location with open access to the gym and swimming pool. Camp is being offered in cooperation with the Niagara Falls School District and Carolyn’s House.

Field Trips

All field trips are held on Friday, weather permitting and subject to change. The YWCA has created weekly integrated themes which incorporate arts & crafts, science & nature, recreation, hands-on activities and learning experiences as part of the children’s daily activities.
