While each child’s daily schedule is likely to be different, we plan
for each day to be filled with activities that develop the four C’s;
communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
Our goal is to provide each camper with a safe, stimulating and
nurturing environment where they feel encouraged to learn,
grow, and thrive throughout the summer. In addition to our group
activities, our daily camp-wide events help to foster a feeling
of community and belonging while embracing each camper’s
individuality.
Our professional staff is led by full-time Y employees who, during
the summer, are joined by our team of teachers, college and high
school students to create an intentional community where children
are positively guided through experiences that are truly life
changing. Our thorough screening process and trainings ensure
a skilled and well-trained staff, so your child can have the best
possible camp experience.
On behalf of our entire camp staff team, we look forward to you
joining our community this summer to continue to build upon our
summer traditions and create memories for a lifetime.
The following pages detail all of the camps available for
summer 2016.
Sincerely,
Matt Gray

HEALTH AND EMERGENCY
INFORMATION:
New to our camp program this year, CampDoc – a web-based
electronic health record system for camps. CampDoc consolidates
and integrates camper health information into a centralized and
secure location. It has been approved by the American Camp
Association and will make the collection of these records more
efficient and accurate. After your child has been registered for
camp you will receive an email from [email protected].
If you are new to the system, the email will contain a login and
password that has been created specifically for you. You will
then be asked all the emergency and medical information that
we require. This will include any necessary information regarding
allergies or medications that may need to be administered. Once
completed, our camp staff will have accurate and up-to-date
information to care appropriately for your child. CampDoc is a
streamlined process to collect the information and eliminates the
need for cumbersome paper forms. Reminders will be sent to you
if any information is outstanding.
EXTENDED HOURS
At the Y, kids have a safe place to learn, explore and have fun on
summer days while their parents work. To provide families with
flexibility and convenience, we offer extended hour options. We
extend camp fun through activities that keep the kids engaged
before the day begins and as they wind down at the end of the day.
Please ensure you choose the “Extended Hours” option when you
register your child(ren) for camp.

CAMP STORY
“On my son’s first day of camp at age 8 he came home exhausted from
playing so much! Four years later, Hunter is still excited to pick from the
variety of camps and trips. It’s nice to see him make friends and keep in
touch with them all year long.
As a single mom, I’m so happy knowing Hunter has a safe haven while I’m
working. He is so comfortable at the Y and never bored—we even use
their After Care program for school breaks.
Hunter is a natural helper, and he really enjoys assisting counselors with
younger campers. I’m proud when his counselors tell me what a good kid
he is. He is most proud of receiving ‘Responsibility’ character cards for
helping out.
Thanks to his camp experiences Hunter’s self-confidence, sense of
responsibility and leadership skills have grown. If he sees a kid being
picked on at school, he’ll stand up for them in a respectful way. At home
he even does his chores with fewer reminders. At the end of this summer
he told me, ‘you know I’m going to be a counselor one day.’
I’m so thankful that Y camp has inspired his passion for helping others.”
-Jennifer, Mother
SEND A KID TO CAMP
At the Y we believe that everyone should have the chance to learn, grow and
thrive; and, at camp, that is just what kids do.
“I trust the Y to care for my three daughters while I work. My 2 year old, Alessandra,
has caring teachers in the Early Education Center and Mikaela, who is 7, graduated
from the Y’s Preschool program well prepared for Kindergarten. Mikaela and my
11 year old, Crystel, have such fun making friends, playing and learning at the Y’s
exciting camps all summer long.
Crystel has special needs and uses a walker. At Y Camp, the counselors pay attention
to important details like holding the door, helping her in and out of chairs and
lowering the paper towel dispenser so Crystel can interact independently and play
just like every other child.
The Y is a special place. My girls love it here, and I’ve seen their personalities and
confidence blossom. The financial assistance we receive from the Y helps reduce
the cost of camp. I hope other parents in need know that the Y is a great option for
their children because everyone is welcome here.”
~ Yanina, Mother
