CHARACTER IS WHAT MATTERS Building character and practicing the principles are at the core of the YMCA programming. At summer camp your camper will learn:• CARING: Putting others first. Being kind and

expressing gratitude.• HONESTY: Keeping their promises. Building a

good reputation and being loyal.• RESPECT: Being courteous and polite. Having

good manners and valuing others.• RESPONSIBILITY: Always do your best. Be

accountable for your choices.

WHY CHOOSE THE Y FOR YOUR CHILD'S SUMMER? The YMCA knows children. We are professional and our camps offer things no parent can do on their own. Children need to spend time outdoors, practicing social and decision making skills that are new to them, while being inspired by "heroes" -- the YMCA Camp Counselors. Our camps are safe. We have value-based programming focused on caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We hope your family can become part of our family.

At the YMCA, our Summer Camps are ACA accredited, which means that we maintain the highest standards regarding program quality. We believe the most important elements of a positive Summer Camp experience are the safety and well-being of your child.
