Therapeutic Summer Day Camp

FYSB offers a unique summer camp to children from elementary to middle school ages 6 to 12. It is a structured, supervised environment where children work on topics such as conflict resolution, problem solving, grief and loss, bullying, etc. and still have fun with hiking, swimming and playing games. Fridays include special activities and field trips as some of the children have never been out of Porter County.

This is the only day camp in this area staffed by Master's level therapists. The children receive much more than supervision and fun. Parental evaluations, completed after camp each year, have repeatedly asked for a lengthened camp experience and the campers are always anxious to return.

2005 field trips included:

Chicago White Sox game
Deep River Water Park
Indiana Beach
Brookfield Zoo
This camp is possible due to the support of:

Portage Resale Shop
Duneland Resale Shop
Delta Theta Tau Sorority
Chicago White Sox
Wal-Mart
Kankakee Valley REMC Operation Round-up
Duneland Exchange Club
