Yerwood Educational Summer Camp
YES Summer Camp is an academically based camp for approximately 200 elementary school aged children for 8 weeks during the summer. The camp runs from 8a.m. to 5p.m. with an opportunity for early drop-off beginning at 7:30a.m. and late pick-up until 6p.m., to accommodate parent’s work schedule.
The YES Summer Camp includes academic enrichment, recreation, field trips, community service, arts & crafts as well as traditional camp activities such as swimming in the Yerwood Center’s pool, as well as other sports.
In 2008, every child participated ‘Broadway Babes’, a full-scale musical where they learned about acting, set design, wardrobe and overcoming stage fright. More than 300 friends and family members attended the evening performance on the second to last day of the camp.
During the 2009 camp season, the YES camp participants were visited by Digitas who spent the day with the campers. Some of the activities that were included in the day’s event was musical appreciation with a fun limbo contest, tasty cooking activities, and to conclude the day, the Yerwood family was presented with an aqautic theme mural painting completed by the volunteers . The day was exciting for campers, staff, and volunteers from Digitas.
