Frequent moves and deployments are some of the most impacting stressors of military families. Operation Little Learners offers a setting for children 18 months to 5 years old to make new friendships, build community, handle conflicts, develop children’s cognitive and social skills and encourage an overall healthier and resilient life. Parents and children work together and connect to a support network of other moms and dads experiencing the same military life challenges.
Operation Little Learners Virtual Sessions are happening now! Check out the OLL page for updates on monthly field trips and Craft & Conversation events.
Summer Camp is a childhood tradition at the Armed Services YMCA Hampton Roads. This year’s theme is SPLASH into SUMMER! Specially designed for school-age children, ages 4*- 12 years, weekly activities, field trips, and swimming opportunities give students a chance to make new friends and strengthen their communication skills in a FUN, safe, and nurturing environment. Campers will have opportunities to participate in STREAM and literacy activities to prevent “summer slide” so they don't miss a beat when schools reopen in late August.
Campers won’t want to miss out on this amazing summer experience!
*MUST turn 5 in 2023, limited space availability for this age group
