Computer Fun (4 - 5 & 6 - 9 years)

With emphasis on art and music, this camp provides an opportunity for children to explore their creative side while learning basic computer skills.  Each child will work on a personal laptop, supplied by Kids Computer Fun, to create simple animation and art projects as well as compose their own music.  Each camper will receive a CD with their artwork and music compositions as well as a T-shirt with their own design.  This camp is facilitated by Rasha Hasanen of Kids Computer Fun.  Campers will spend half of the day in the computer lab and the other half participating in traditional camp games, activities and swimming.

Also, should any portion of this camp require travel off of YMCA property, it is the parent's responsibility to ensure that the camper arrives before the bus departure time otherwise that parent must transport the camper themselves to the sight and sign them in with YMCA Staff only.
