WELCOME TO CAMP
QUOOWANT!
Dear Parents,
The Y has over 50 years experience in the camping
business. Your child’s safety and self-esteem is a
tremendous responsibility and high priority in all of
our programs. The Brandywine Y Camp Leadership
Team knows how much impact camp can have on a
child’s life and for that reason we take our career
choice and responsibilities very seriously. Our camp
team works year-round to maintain the best camp
traditions and experiences, and we hire and train the
best staff available to guide your children. Our goal
is to create opportunities for campers that enhance
their self esteem, build friendships, develop greater
independence, tap into their creative potential, and
most of all, be silly while having fun. We are thrilled
your family has chosen to share a part of your summer
with us. We hope to challenge your child to try new
things, enjoy new physical and creative activities,
and create friendships and memories that will last a
lifetime. We enjoy hearing from you and welcome your
comments, concerns and suggestions. Together we can
learn, share and improve the camp experience for all
involved.
