BUNNY BRUNCH THANK YOU
Thank you to our sponsors for helping us host another wonderful Bunny Brunch: Kiwanis, The Elks, Shirck Orthodontics, McDonalds, Granville Pediatric Dentistry, Arbys and IHOP. We had over 350 people in the community enjoy
breakfast with the Easter bunny and hunt for eggs!
WHAT MAKES YOU COME BACK TO CAMP EACH YEAR?
I have only been an employee for one summer at the YMCA, but it was by far one of the best summers of my life. Watching the kids grow and learn and quite frankly just be kids makes me so excited to come back to camp.
I met a lot of fantastic boys and girls during last summer and to be able to see them all again and see how they have grown and changed is extremely exciting. Not only that, but being a part of the before/after school program and meeting a bunch of new
children who will be attending camp as well this summer makes me even more excited to return and build new and stronger relationships with the kids I know now and will meet this upcoming June.
Applying to be part of the YMCA has really been one of the best choices I have made and I can't wait for all the new experiences this summer!
