Power Scholars Academy

Find Your Genius Within

The YMCA Power Scholars Academy provides children with an opportunity to engage in rigorous academic instruction and camp­like enrichment activities. The program was created to boost scholars’ academic achievements, self confidence, and social skills, while encouraging healthy lifestyles and engaging parents in their child’s education.

POWER SCHOLAR’S SCHEDULE

Lunch & Recreation: Scholars eat a healthy lunch and enjoy supervised fun; outdoors and in.

Afternoon Fun: Scholars rotate through a wide variety of enrichment opportunities during the afternoon that focus on the arts, science, technology, career exploration, physical activity and games, health and fitness, and community and career exploration.

Family Engagement: All families are encouraged to become involved with their scholars’ experiences and treated to special events that celebrate their scholars’ achievements.
