Plenty of Fun at YMCA Summer Camps
It's not too late to sign up for one of the Summer Camps at the Peachtree Corners Y.
At the YMCA Summer Camp is all about developing the camper and filling your child's day with fun, character-developing experiences.
Campers develop new friendships while gaining a sense of independence. With activities like swimming, sports, gymnastics, cheerleading, nature and environmental awareness, arts and crafts, math and science, (just to name a few of the Y's specialty camps) campers try things outside of their norm.
Activity and play is just the beginning. Camp Leaders create an environment where campers learn the importance of healthy choices and active lifestyles while developing teamwork and leadership skills.
