And the Oscar goes to...?
This week, our specialty camp had great camping experiences in Kamping Kids. On Monday, campers made posters demonstrating their knowledge of safety skills. The kids enjoyed eating alongside a beautiful lake while hiking in the Mountain Lake Nature Preserve on Wednesday. Today, campers had a blast at Sahara Sam's indoor water park, where they got to go down thrilling water rides and hang out in the pool, followed by an overnight camp back at the Y. Campers will even get to sleep in tents they set up by themselves! Tomorrow, Kamping Kids will join the rest of the camps for a delicious barbeque to end their fun-filled week.

The campers in MVP Specialty Camp, Lacrosse, have been giving their all this week to enhance their skill in the game. Campers learned how to catch, throw, cradle, shoot, and more. Just after one week, the improvement in each and every one of the kids' gameplay has definitely shown.
The counselor and teacher of the Lacrosse campers says "their progress is already beginning to show. When we started, some of the kids didn't even know how to hold the stick properly, and now they are starting to throw the ball and get into the other fundamentals." This camp has been a great experience for the kids. Campers learned many essential skills, and have truly improved at the sport!
This week, Leadership Academy continued to make an impact in the community and interact with each other. Not only did they help collect school supplies for Christine's Hope For Kids, but today they were also able to discuss gender roles in society, leading to an engaging debate among the campers. Yesterday, campers watched the movie Invictus, which led to an interesting discussion on racial prejudice versus unity within a community. Once again, Leadership also helped volunteer and distribute food at the Crisis Ministry Food Pantry. This summer, our teens have strengthened their roles as leaders and fostered their own social and interactive skills, reinforcing their confidence and individual identity. We at the Princeton YMCA can't wait to see their roles in the community as they develop into accomplished adults.
