TABLE OF CONTENTS
Since I started my career at the
YMCA 30 years ago, there’s nothing
I’ve known to be more life-shaping
than summer camp. Camping, like
many Y programs, is about learning
new skills, developing character
and making friends. In addition
to traditional and specialty camp
activities, we are uniquely devoted to
physical activity and STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, the Arts
and Mathematics) education in each
and every one of our programs. Few
environments will foster your child’s
mind, body and spirit than at the Y.
WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT
SUMMER CAMP!

Aid, emergency preparedness, abuse

developing new interests, friends and
independence.

We’re passionate about inspiring
healthier habits that kids carry through
life – and so are our partners! Build Our
Kids’ Success (BOKS) is an initiative of
the Reebok Foundation with the mission
to give kids a body and brain boost.
The YMCA has partnered with BOKS to
provide before-care activities combining
play, team games, physical activity and
short talks on nutrition, just like the Y’s
PHD program. The Y’s PHD program will
be offered in camp after care to keep
kids engaged and energized all day long.
