STEAM Camp Summer 2020

What’s new at YMCA Camp Potawotami for Summer 2020? STEAM CAMP! STEAM Camp will provide campers with activities to experiment and be involved with focusing on science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Campers will learn problem solving, inquiry skills, design and critical thinking, as well as use creativity and collaboration.

For STEAM Camp, YMCA Camp Potawotami is partnering with the Kendallville Public Library Youth Services Department. Library staff will be leading 2 hours of excellent STEAM programming each morning for campers to test theories and learn through hands-on experimentation. After STEAM programming, campers will be able to choose a skills class like archery, climbing, boating, arts and crafts, or sports to participate in throughout the week. Afternoons will be spent at the waterfront and spending time with their cabin mates. Evening programs include campfires, a cook-out, and all camp games.

Last summer, YMCA Camp Potawotami was a location for one of the Kendallville Public Library Youth Services Department’s pop-up Libraries. Each Sunday, campers pick out a book from the pop-up library and check-out the book for the week while they attend Camp. Campers leave their checked-out book in a designated bin in the cabin at the end of the week. We are happy to announce that YMCA Camp Potawotami will continue to be a pop-up library location again for Summer 2020!

STEAM Camp is offered Session 4: June 28- July 3, 2020. Sign up to be a STEAM camper today!
