Year after year we hear stories from campers, parents and alumni about the profound, positive impact Y camps and staff has had on their lives. YMCA camps promote sportsmanship, camaraderie, teamwork, commitment, friendship, perseverance, tolerance and responsibility. Y camps embody excellence in youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. While the Y is often associated with camping, we haven’t worked closely together to ensure that all resident camps within associations, independent camps and conference centers reap the benefits of our shared, strong market presence until now. Our brand revitalization will allow us to harness our collective power as “the Y,” be it a large association, a resident camp or an independent Y. Strong brands make an implicit promise that resonates with the public and other stakeholders. They must deliver on their promise in word and deed. This requires consistency in tone, appearance and message. Too many variations cause confusion. This is why graphic standards for the Y brand exist—these standards are and will remain the primary resource guide for camps to use for transition to the new brand. At the same time, the camp experience is different from the typical YMCA experience. We recognize that resident camps and conference centers face the challenge of promoting their unique capabilities and geographic attributes across national service markets, and often within the same region due to the close proximity of many of our camps to one another. As a result, we need an application strategy that allows a camp’s spirit to shine through. 3 ReSIdeNT CAmPS ANd CoNfeReNCe CeNTeRS Y camps embody excellence in youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. INTRodUCTIoN Recognizing these unique needs, YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) created the Camp Transition Strategy Task Force. Composed of YMCA resident camp and conference center leaders from across the Movement, the task force was charged with exploring solutions to these challenges so that camps can successfully differentiate and market themselves, while remaining compliant with the Y’s graphic standards. As a result of their hard work and collaboration, this document, which outlines some camp-specific applications of the Y’s graphic standards, was created. who ShoULd USe ThIS doCUmeNT? This document is intended for use by resident camps and conference centers and is not for use by associations with day camp program offerings. Day camp will follow the same brand transition plan that your association has developed for all of its programs. This document is applicable for resident camps that offer day camp as an additional program; you may use it as a guide for consistently promoting both programs. Note: Throughout this document, for the sake of brevity, the term ‘camp’ broadly covers both resident camps and conference centers. 4 ReSIdeNT CAmPS ANd CoNfeReNCe CeNTeRS oveRvIew ReSIdeNT CAmPS ANd CoNfeReNCe CeNTeRS Because all camp collateral and apparel must adhere to the Y’s graphic standards, familiarizing yourself with the details of the Y Graphic Standards Guide is an important first step. You’ll better understand the supplemental applications of this document and how to successfully market your camp once you have a full understanding of the Y brand elements, the visual system and how they are implemented. This document outlines several style and usage applications for camp marketing communications collateral, imagery, font, signage, apparel, as well as the option to carry forward heritage logos in carefully defined ways through 2015. In addition, guidance is given on the use of heritage logos in limited ways beyond 2015. This document features examples of what some camps have already done with brand transition and some samples Y-USA created to help generate ideas. All references noted in parentheses indicate the section within the Y Graphic Standards Guide where you can find more information. Visit the Brand Resource Center on Exchange to download the complete Y Graphic Standards Guide. ComPLIANCe TImeLINe All Ys, including resident camps and conference centers, need to complete transition to the revitalized brand by December 2015. For additional support and guidance on implementing the brand or creating your transition timeline, please visit the Brand Resource Center to find customizable templates, training and educational tools, and sample work from Ys that have already begun their transition.

The red-and-black Y logo and program logos are not considered heritage logos; therefore, these logos are not to be used. If a heritage logo is altered, this would be considered creation of a new logo and it would no longer be used. (For ease of print production, a heritage logo may be aligned to the new color palette. Altering the color palette for this purpose is the only change permitted in order for a logo to retain its heritage status.) • The Y logo and areas of focus should always lead in the header or upper quadrant of a layout to be given prominence. • The heritage logo should always be placed in the footer or lower quadrant.

Back 34 Moving Forward movING foRwARd ReSIdeNT CAmPS ANd CoNfeReNCe CeNTeRS Y-USA created this document to guide the visual application of the Y brand in ways that help camps preserve some elements of their identities, creatively apply the visual system and remain compliant with the Y’s brand standards. Feel free to experiment with messaging and design within this framework to ensure that your materials convey your camp’s unique spirit. Creating collateral that aligns with the visual system is only one step in your camp’s brand transition. If you haven’t already, you will want to create a timeline, budget and plan for your camp’s transition. The transition steps are outlined on the Brand Resource Center. Your plan needs to include: • Educating and engaging your stakeholders • Using the touchpoint analysis template to audit materials that need to be revised • Infusing the Y voice and messaging into communication materials • Integrating visual system into communication materials Additional support on implementing the brand, training staff and volunteers or creating your transition timeline, is on the Brand Resource Center—customizable templates, training tools, and sample work from Ys that have already begun their transition. Thank you for your commitment to camping, to the Y, and most of all, to the kids and families who come back year after year as they have for generations, because they know there’s no camp experience like a Y camp experience. 36 CoNTACT INfoRmATIoN ReSIdeNT CAmPS ANd CoNfeReNCe CeNTeRS All artwork and imagery used in this document are for visual reference only and should not be extracted from this PDF file.
