Wee Camp: Northwest Cary YMCA

This creative week invites campers to explore colors, textures, and materials through process-based art and sensory play. The focus is on experimenting and expressing — not perfection — helping little ones build confidence, fine motor skills, and joy through hands-on creativity. 

Campers get ready for a playful week of movement, music, and make-believe! Campers will dance with ribbons, try silly balancing games, explore pretend performances, and create colorful crafts inspired by the circus. Through imaginative play and group activities, children build confidence, coordination, and joy while having fun together under the big top. 

Sun, sand and smiles! Campers will enjoy beach-inspired fun with water play, music, dancing and seaside crafts. They will explore colors, textures, and movement inspired by summer, the beach and water.

Wild fun for future Zoologists! Campers will roar, hop, swim and wiggle through a week of animal-themed games, songs and crafts. They’ll explore different animals and habitats through movement, pretend play and hands-on fun designed just for curious little minds.

Stomp, roar and explore! Your young paleontologists will travel back in time for dinosaur-themed fun filled with movement games, crafts, and imaginative play. From big stomps to tiny fossils, this week is all about curiosity, creativity, and playful discovery.

Mix, stir and smile! Campers explore pretend cooking, simple food-themed crafts, and sensory play. This week encourages creativity, sharing and independence as little chefs cook up big fun!

Build it big! Campers stack, build, and create with blocks, boxes and imagination. Through hands-on play and movement activities, little builders develop coordination, problem-solving and teamwork.

Campers explore nature through outdoor play, sensory activities and simple discoveries. From leaves and bugs to sunshine and flowers, this week encourages curiosity, wonder and a love of the outdoors.
