A one week session at YMCA summer camp for Lanija

Posted May 16, 2017
Lanija is not a YMCA member like her two older sisters, but wants to go to summer camp just like them! She LOVES playing with peers of her age. She usually goes to daycare, but her GAL is hoping she can participate in a unique summer camp to have an opportunity for a change of scenery during the summer, and something to be excited for. The wish includes a one-week session of general summer camp, where campers will have the opportunity to do crafts, activities, and to play with peers of their same age range

Lanija is 11 years old and lives in NC

Lanija is a bubbly, outgoing girl with a sparkling personality and a bright smile. Lanija loves playing and meeting friends at the YMCA. She loves to do whatever her two older sisters are doing, including going to the YMCA just like them! The best way to describe Lanija is like a little hummingbird, going from flower to flower and loving the beauty of the world. When I say that Lanija is talented, the word “talented” does not do her justice – Lanija may very well be the next Shakira or Beyonce! Lanija can dance and move around like she was born with it in her soul.
