“I can’t believe school is over already!”

The conversation I’ve had with numerous parents about summer is something along the lines of, “I don’t know what I’m going to do with my kids all summer!”, or “I can’t believe school is over already.” You’ve probably lined up your summer vacation plans, your children’s overnight camps, their time with Grandma and Grandpa, and sports activities. Great…but there is still a lot of time before school starts again. What are you going to do?

This past year most students spent a lot of time at home during school closures. A majority of parents want their kids active outside the house. Summer Day Camps are a great way to fit the bill for many parents.

Keep kids engaged and learning

Parents want their child to be engaged outside the home. They don’t want the summer of 2021 to be stagnant. Quality day camps with dynamic instructors and robust curriculum are great ways to ensure your child is engaged. How can you tell if the day camp has dynamic instructors and robust curriculum? I can’t speak for others in our industry, but {YEL!} day camps have tons of curriculum, excellent instructors, and a Teach It! Practice It! Play It!® methodology to all of our classes. Whether it is Woodworking, Project Runway, Fencing or Chess camps, {YEL!!} structures our day camps to keep kids fully engaged the entire time they are in camp. Yes, there is down time, and yes, there is creative play, but that is after lessons have been taught and practiced.

Close to home

{YEL!} Day Camps are convenient. They are often in or near your community, and take place in mornings or afternoons. This allows the kiddos to be fully engaged for hours at a time and allows them to cultivate the day’s activities, and it gives parents time between drop offs and pick ups for essential errands or “me time”.

More access

Many of your favorite overnight camps and big ticket camps (like horse back riding) filled up so quickly in the spring that numerous parents were left out and had fewer options. {YEL!} Day Camps have a lot more flexibility. We offer similar camps in multiple communities, so if the one you want in your community is full, you can check a neighboring community for the same camp and keep your child engaged and learning this summer. {YEL!} Day Camps are flexible enough to offer additional programming. If a camp fills, we can often offer a second camp the same week to help all the kiddos on the wait list, or we can bring in a second instructor.

Less expensive

Overnight camps and big ticket camps can be very expensive, often varying from $300-$1,500 for the week. {YEL!} Day Camps offer camps are quite affordable. Our fees are based on teacher remuneration, facilities fees, and supply costs. We work diligently to keep these costs affordable and pass the savings on to parents. We also eliminate costly giveaways that parents can get for less money elsewhere, like LEGO Mini-figs, LEGO kits, Chess Board giveaways, etc.
