Grades K - 5 who attend Turner Creek or Salem Elementary
Held at Turner Creek Elementary School
Cary Family YMCA is pleased to offer after school care at Turner Creek Elementary. From start to finish, our afternoons at Turner Creek will be packed with team building and character development! The YMCA provides a safe, educational, fun environment for your children.
Our 2009 format is based on the YMCA’s core values and mission of building a healthy spirit, mind and body. Our activities are guided by the core values of caring, respect, responsibility, honesty and faith. We feel these are tools children need to build a future with strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
Children have fun and learn with counselors who enjoy being around children. At Turner Creek After School your child will participate in:
Assemblies: children are given the opportunity to unwind after school with skits, cheers, camper recognition, huddle challenges and the thought of the day.
Devotions: Children discuss positive choices and behavior and work together to understand the concepts of respect, responsibility, caring, honesty and faith in God.
Incentives: Character animals are a part of the camper incentive program here at Turner Creek. Character animals help teach the children character traits. We have five mini stuffed character mascots that represent our Character Traits:
Blue: Honesty
Green: Responsibility
Yellow: Respect
Red: Caring
Purple: Faith in God
Character animals are a way to recognize individuals in the program. A “Character Animal” is given to a child who has led his/her huddle by example and demonstrated the character traits. Honored students are given an opportunity to care for the character animal during Friday assemblies, add their signature to our hall of fame and a trip to the prize box.
The Super Store: The Turner YMCA program has created a super store. Children can earn YMCA dollars when they go above and beyond by demonstrating one of the character traits; honesty, respect, responsibility, caring and faith in God. Children then spend their YMCA money at the super store. The super store is filled with games, toys and party supplies.
Grades K-2 are given the opportunity every Thursday to shop at the super store. Grades 3-5 are given the opportunity every Tuesday to shop at the super store.
Huddle Competition: Team work is what it’s all about. This year at after school your child will be given the opportunity to work with his/her huddle to play YMCA Monopoly towards a huddle party. Monopoly dice rolls are earned in assembly challenges such as; team obstacle courses, dance challenges, trivia challenges and by demonstrating character trait skills as a team. Huddles have a chance to win a party once every two months.
