TAYLOR SUMMER DAY CAMPS The YMCA provides children with summer adventures that promote a healthy spirit, mind and body. Children will spend their time indoors and outdoors as experienced staff lead campers in a wide variety of activities each day, including arts and crafts, games, sports, songs, swimming and weekly off-site field trips. Our camp is American Camp Association (ACA) accredited, which means that we maintain the highest standards regarding program quality. We believe the most important elements of a positive day camp experiences are the safety and well-being of your child. That’s why our camps have the following:
• Professionally and thoroughly trained staff including CPR/ First Aid, Emergency Procedures, Child Abuse Prevention Trainings and more.
• Our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
• Recommended ACA ratios of staff to campers: age 3-5 years 1:6, age 6-8 years 1:8, age 9-14 years 1:10.
