The YMCA of Greater Brandywine will host a Virtual Summer Camp Open House on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 6:30 PM. All are welcome.    

Members of the YMCA’s summer camp leadership team will be “meeting” with registered and prospective summer camp families to answer questions and provide more information on YMCA summer camp programs and activities.

Register for the Virtual Open House.

“YMCA summer camps really focus on providing children with structured activities and fun that keep them involved throughout the day,” said Janelle Brandberg, senior director of youth programs at the Upper Main Line YMCA. “The camp program provides a welcoming environment where children are comfortable to be themselves, while making life-long friends and discovering new interests and skills. Our goal is for every child that attends camp to feel confident and empowered when they go home at the end of each day.”

Discover five things that make summer camps at the YMCA stand out from the rest:  

1. Fun: Weekly camp themes combined with special activities — such as pools, inflatables, pedal carts, archery tag, gaga pits, playgrounds, and more — keep the fun going.
2. Safety: As the largest provider of childcare in Chester County, caring for more than 5,000 children each year, safety is paramount. All YMCA staff go through extensive trainings.
3. Campuses: The YMCA of Greater Brandywine’s campuses offer acres of amenities and leverage robust indoor and outdoor spaces to keep each day fun and exciting — rain or shine.
4. Core Values: The YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility are woven throughout camp to help campers develop socially and emotionally.
5. Staff: The YMCA’s dedicated team of mission-driven individuals share unique passions and talents with campers each day. This, paired with low camper-to-counselor ratios, facilitates a high level of engagement and ensures a summer of fun for all.
