Skipping rocks at Camp Coleman 2023
YMCA’s beautiful Camp Coleman came alive with laughter and the vibrant energy of the Canopy families who gathered for weekend Family Camps this spring. The weekend camps, provided through a partnership with the YMCA, gave wonderful opportunities for families to explore and play together.
Archery and the climbing wall presented challenges to conquer and personal triumphs to celebrate. The art and crafts workshops provided a creative outlet for self-expression with colorful tie dye masterpieces. Canoeing adventures on the lake made fun memories.
Fostering Connections and Building Community
One of the most remarkable aspects of Camp Coleman’s Family Camp is the incredible sense of community that blossoms among the families. Year after year, families from the esteemed Canopy Scholars community have found solace and camaraderie within the camp’s warm embrace. As parents engaged in meaningful conversations, sharing stories and experiences, children formed lifelong friendships, forging bonds that transcend the campfire circle. It was heartwarming to witness the formation of new connections and the strengthening of existing relationships, as the spirit of unity and support thrived throughout the weekend.
Nature’s Majestic Playground
Camp Coleman’s natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for this experience. Under the forest canopy, families immersed themselves in an atmosphere that is a juxtaposition to city living. Families hiked, played on the beach, are smores, and danced by the campfire, and the magic of the outdoors left imprints on the lives of all who attended.
“I had the best time ever!”
A Heartfelt Thank You
Canopy Scholars extends heartfelt gratitude to Camp Coleman, and deep appreciation to the YMCA for hosting our families each year. Our partnership together is fostering a community where education and adventure create families who are thriving.
Moments spent at Family Camp become part of their collective story, and and memories created will inspire and strengthen families long after they leave camp.
