Summer Camp
We recognize parents’ challenges while keeping their children safe and entertained throughout summer vacation. We also believe in the importance of continuing educational activities over the summer. That’s why we began our annual summer camp in 2012.
Every June, Yspaniola hosts a Summer Camp: a two- to three-week enrichment program in which international volunteers work side-by-side with community members to provide a fun and educational experience for over 105 children in Batey Libertad.
Campers participate in a diverse range of activities including:
- Arts and crafts
- Summer 2024 included learning about recycling and making art out of recycled items.
- Sports like baseball, soccer, relay, and obstacle courses
- Music like learning about Dominican and Haitian music
- Theater like engaging in skits, imitation games
Yspaniola staff, volunteers, and community members design these activities to encourage campers to be creative, inquisitive, active, and healthy.
