CRANBERRY, Pa. — Over 100 local youth are enjoying the great outdoors this summer at YMCA Camp Coffman Summer Day Camp.
The YMCA Summer Day Camp program for ages six to 12 may seem like child care but has become so much more.
“We’re providing a safe place to learn, grow, socialize and have fun,” said Director Jennifer Cooper. “Children need to be outside in the fresh air, enjoying nature, learning new things and socializing with one another in an electronics-free environment, and we provide that, five days a week, all summer long.”
The YMCA provides hands-on experiences with all kinds of outdoor activities including fishing, boating, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, zip lining, climbing, archery, air rifle and field games. Field trips are held every Friday.
Registration for YMCA Summer Day Camp is open for youth ages six to 12 through the Clarion County YMCA and the Oil City YMCA. Theme weeks provide fun, new adventures each week.
