Diamonds to Wyoming Seminary and the YMCA for teaming to offer Summer at Sem, Explorations with the Y, a 3-week program that drew 113 youngsters to Sem’s Lower School Campus in Forty Fort for a wide array of science and learning expertly disguised as fun — oh, and some stuff that was just plain fun. Children learned the best way to make homemade bubble solutions, program LEGO robotics, and practice photography, among many other activities. Our area is blessed with many such opportunities for students of varying age groups throughout the year, but summer versions give parents a break, while letting kids socialize, learn, burn off energy and, well, get to enjoy childhood. Sem has been doing this since the 1990s, but joining with the Y opened the doors to students from other schools. Camp Director Sara Hargadon Michaels put it nicely when she said “It’s a beautiful partnership.” May we see many more like it.
