YMCA Camp Coniston is a place where kids try things for the first time. Perhaps it is archery. Perhaps it is swimming. Perhaps it is being away from home.
Here is your guide to what CIT is and what it means to Coniston and your child.
Homesickness. To some, it means missing the comforts of home. To others, it may mean missing a parent. These are normal feelings. In fact, you may not have considered the sense of accomplishment a child can feel by working through those feelings. It can help a child thrive. It can lead to greater self-reliance, independence and confidence.
Elementary aged students complete homework, enjoy structured recreation, and snacks with a 1:10 staff to child ratio. This allows parents to maintain a full-time job knowing their child is safe.
When the children arrive in the program attendance is taken. Before snack each child washes their hands and joins their friends to sit and enjoy snack provided by YMCA Camp Coniston. If you think your child will need additional snack please be sure to pack a snack for them in their lunch box.
