Trip to the York County Museum |
We found, as the school year was coming to an end, that neither the staff, volunteers, or kids were quite ready for the Youth Source's Free After School Program to end. There was so much more to share ... so much more to learn ... so many tiny steps to our goals for these children yet to take. So we quickly adapted and organized a Youth Source Summer Day Camp program to take the kids over the summer months. Unfortunately, we aren't able to offer the camp free of charge, but we did the very best we could to find free or low-cost activities to keep the expenses down and give as many children as possible a chance to participate.
The Day Camp Program is engineered to open little minds to new things .... educational things, physical fitness, fun events, creative opportunities ... the kind of variety and experiences that make children want to learn as they head back to school in the fall. They're visiting the York County Library and taking advantage of the children's programs being offered there for the summer. They're doing craft projects. They're having play time and picnic lunches at Confederate Park courtesy of the Summer Free Lunch Program in Rock Hill. They're visiting museums and playing tennis .... all things kids love to do!
If you operate a business or event that offers free or low admission to children, please let us know .... if we don't have a spot to fit you in this summer, we'll certainly keep the information on file for next year's program.
